I never did this before, but I think you can use an external modem hooked to your pic. To reprogram it you dial to your modem... once connection is done you have a serial link, like your pic is directly connected to computer...

In your firmware you program something like if it receives a "R" it resets the processor.

After that the bootloader starts and waits the new firmware for a few seconds... and then you send it.

I think that feature is only on certain pics like the 16f877. Not sure that would work fo this one. Not from what I have read so far.. TTY

Once I modified the CCS bootloader and used it over a modem connection. For this to work properly you'll need to add proper handshaking, error checking and possibly frame sequencing. Otherwise it will be too dodgy. The last thing you want is your PIC receiving the wrong bytes and crashing after restart.

Yes, I believe there do exist several 18Fxxx bootloader modules, which should allow this sort of thing.
