Counter chips

I've seen numerous references here and other places to some chips that count pulses and output their count (serially, I hope). I'd love to have one of these, but I can't find them. I've hunted all through the digikey catalog, and I found counters, but they're just panel display things. I need an IC that counts on/off toggles and will give my PIC chip the current total. Can anyone supply a digikey part number(s)?
