You can use either device.

You could do that. The xBees, once configured, act the same (except for timing) as a direct wired serial connection. Because of the timing differences, you can't use the connection for programming the BS2, but you can send data back and forth. You can use the DEBUG terminal or any other PC terminal program. On the BS2, you just would use SERIN and SEROUT.

Remember that a PC's serial port uses RS232 voltages which can damage an xBee or 433MHz Transceiver. You need to use something like a MAX232 to convert those voltages to what an xBee or Transceiver uses. Note that Parallax and others have USB adapters for the xBees that take care of the interfacing to a PC.

How would i use the DEBUG terminal without a Basic Stamp?
