What kind of LCD do you have and what kind of serial communication does it use (TTL, RS232, TTL-inverted)?
What serial options does it have?

I took a quick look at that code sample of Kevin's and as it is currently configured it expects your LCD to be TTL-inverted, running at 2400 BAUD, and hooked up to digital input 1 (although there seems to be some discrepancy in how that digital input is configured - you might want to fix that).
