My understanding (and experience) is that serial does quite well, but your 
maximum baud drops as you increase distance.  I don't have the numbers handy, 
but at a job I had in southern CA, we ran quite a distance at 9600 buad (not 
quite 30 meters, though).  Someone somewhere should have the actual figures.
