- The length depends on the baud rate. Check with the EIA232 spec, or if
- you cant find that, the RS-232C from IEEE. I think that if you use
- shielded wire, you can go 75 feet at 9600, but that is a bid "I THINK".

- Check with a frim called _Altex Electronics_ in Texas. 800-531-5369.
- They usualy have some inexpensive stuff, and some of there stuff is
- good, other stuff is ok, but all in all quality is better than that of
- Radio Shaft.
