Has anybody made a easy to use serial chip, all seem to be lacking some

The only way I like to program is I/O is 'hardware" setup ... Dip

The only serial chips that I am aware of that do not require any programming
are old style dumb UARTs like the 6402 sold by Jameco.
They have no fifo buffering, they are simple to use devices.
