Multi BS2 network.

Can anyone offer advice on running a BS2 network? I've designed a
robot that uses a PDA as the master and a BS2 SX as a slave. I
wanted to add another Stamp and a CMUcam to make a serial network
that controls the robot. I have the software details in hand, I'm
just concerned about the hardware details. Can I just hook up the
serial lines of the stamps and have at it, or are there other
hardware details I need. I'm not finding much info on the net.

    See the Stamp manual
    http://www.parallaxinc.com/html_files/downloads/download_documentation.htm
    BASIC Stamp Manual, Version 2.0c, Page 289-290 for a graphic of one way to get
    BS2's talking. Note the description states "I/O pin 0, Fpin, is pulled to
    ground through a 10k resistor. This is to ensure that the sender sees a stop
    signal (0 for inverted communications) when the receiver is being programmed."

    I have done the network as described in that manual. Two BS2sx sets could
    send and receive data but I still have the problem. The sender sent "Hello".
    The receiver got all five letters but it was "Hdlln" instead.. This error is
    constant. I am thinking about error from the last bit of each transmitted
    byte.

    Has anyone know what causes this error?
