Speaking of noisy lines, I was thinking of getting one of those telephone
cords that's coiled helix-like to colapse the wire. Now that we're
discussing this topic, I am wondering if this cord would effect the
electronics. The thought came up to me that this cord is like a long
"inductor" and it may slow the rise and fall of the 5V levels. Also,
generating magnetic fields within the "inductor" may cause interferance.
Does anyone have any experience with this?

TTL does NOT go down that line, it is RS232 which is commonly used at
up to 50 feet.  However, you might need to use a shielded cable if you
use a lead longer than about 10 feet.

No, the MAX232 chip on the charger board converts from 12V RS232 coming
out of the serial port to TTL level RS232. What goes down the line to the
Handyboard is 5V RS232, which goes straight into the HC11 and at only 5V
levels is more susceptible to noise. I use a 6 foot unshielded phone cord
in a noisy environment with no problems.
