According to "Managing UUCP and Usenet", the *practical* limits
for rs-232 are:
Max Dist for Max Dist for
Baud Shielded Cable Unshielded Cable
---- -------------- ----------------
110 5000 3000
300 5000 3000
1200 3000 3000
2400 1000 500 all distances in feet
4800 1000 250
9600 250 250
>9600 baud would be enough for the beginning, but the more the better ;-)
I run a twisted pair 22m cable at 38400 baud with no problems at all.
