I've checked the output from the MCS-51 by putting a probe on the leg 
and noticed the same thing.  I think the Maxim is dutifully raising the 
voltage to 10VDC from 5VDC, as it should.

I don't have control over the code - it's probably burned into this 
variant of the MCS-51.  Even if I have the bps rate wrong, I should 
still some garbage flowing across serial interface.
