Using (HW) SPI and Serial at the same time?

Using Arduino Networking, Protocols, and Devices

Hi, sorry for the newbie question...

I have an Arduino (Atmega8-based) and need to read the serial data from a RF Module
and pass that value on to a digital pot over SPI.

Am I right in thinking that both the serial library and the SPI library are using the MISO/MOSI Arduino pins?
How can I use both interfaces at the same time?

Thanks in advance.

No. Where did you get that idea? The serial port is pins 0 and 1 on the Arduino. These pins have nothing to do with SPI.

Easy. As Nike says - just do it.

Uuupss... I've been working with ATTiny13s and Bascom lately, guess that messed up my brain :-).
Thanks a ton and sorry.
