Note, if you actually do this you are deliberately grossly 
mis-terminating the line, not that that is necessarily a bad thing to do.

Incidentally, it is the transmitter's responsibility to control rise 
time, not the receiver's in RS232C.

Baud rate should be irrelevant for modem control signals, but even for 
asynch data, the actual sampling resolution is 16 times better.
