Otherwise make sure that the cable is terminated with the appropriate

I believe it is more like 100 ohms at Ethernet frequencies, but at RS232
frequencies, it will be very frequency dependent and impossible to match
across the full bandwidth.
RS232 was only designed to drive 50ft.
The capacitance of "RS232 spec cables" prohibits them from working at 1000ft.
The Cable and Load have to be less than 2500pf
RS232 Receivers include termination in the 3k to 7k ohms range.
RS232 Driver impedance must be 300 ohms or greater.
RS232 is designed to operate cables under conditions where the
reflections make them look capacitive, so both the source and load
impedance are well above the line impedance. That means there is no
ringing, so no false edges.
RS232 Drivers are limited to 500ma max drive.
I'm fairly sure that is impossible with the specified source impedance
and open circuit voltage.
RS423, using similar levels to RS232 allows much longer lines for slower
signalling rates, although it does require explicit slew rate limiting
at the driver.
RS232 is very conservative. Also a lot of the limitation are probably
based on its being unbalanced.
