Xbee question

If I am using this with the basic stamp, just sending data between two boards for a project, do I need the Xbee USB adapter board like the xbee intro book says?

    You don't have to use an adapter board: you can directly wire the XBee into a circuit. Question 6 of the FAQ (see sig below for the link) discusses which pins you might need to connect.

    Remember stamps are 5v and xbees are 3.3v Don't connect them without some form of level shifting or current limiting. Level shifting is best.
