Getting stamps to talk to each other

I am (slowly but surely) building a robot. My old simple robot only
had one stamp, which limited it greatly. My new one will have at
least
3 stamps, 2 BSII's and a BSIIsx "brain" to coordinate them. This
will
necessitate some form of communication between the chips. I have
used
Innovation First's Robot Controller, which has three chips (at least
one of which is a stamp) and they communicate using the SERIN and
SEROUT commands. How would I hook up the stamps to use SERIN and
SEROUT, and if I need external chips of a different kind, is there
another, more simple method. A big issue here is pin economization,
not program space, if that has any impact on my question. Thanks
