I know, but this is not what I want.. I think is for connecting the LCD 
to the PIC with less wires - but I want to connect the PIC to the serial 
port /dev/ttyS0 and the LCD is connected with all wires to the PIC.

You understand?

PC (serial port) -> PIC (as converter) -> LCD 4bit

I want this because of showing lcdproc status while PC is on. When PC is 
off, the PIC shows something other.

Sorry for bad english.
