The "gold standard" for RS-232 levels is the 1489 -- once literally every serial port had a 1488 and a 1489 handling driver and receiver duties, respectively.

.... and while technically the levels are +3 to +15, and -3 to -15 with any voltage between +3 and -3 being "undefined" the 1489 worked fine with TTL levels.

... and I'd expect the Bluetooth adapter to be built right onto DE-9 or DB-25, so the cable lengths should be really short.

Unfortunately, many PC type devices do not conform to true RS-232 levels
and speeds, and will work with some devices over short distances, but
fail on other devices that expect the minimum RS-232 switching voltages.
