- Travelling Software (makers of LapLink) have a paper on their faxback
- system that says that parallel cables can be a total of 20 feet and
- serial cables 100 feet. I have made a serial null cable (shielded
- wire) that is 125 feet long and it appears to work reliably but I
- can't say this conclusively as I have only been using it for a very
- short time.
