I do not claim to be an expert on this, but I thought that I would
throw in a data point.

I used 100 feet of unshielded phone wire (radio shack 22 g.) at 9600
baud with no difficulty.  There were no errors, even while doing file
xfer, no interference from or to the cable.

Well, that I noticed, anyway.

I remember being led to believe, on the basis of a table in the Kermit
book (yellow cover) that I would have spotty results with 9600/100 ft.
