#105465 - Not a good idea
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Sasha said:
Note that the MAX233 is very similar to the MAX233A; the A version offers a higher slew rate to accomodate port speeds of up to 200000 bps, which is beyond the 115 Kbps speed capable by most PC's built-in serial ports!

Take care, datasheet tells, that only 116kbps is guaranteed for the MAX233A!

By the way, it's not at all a good idea to run a RS232 loop by higher transmission rates than 115kbps. For higher rates a much faster slew rate would be needed, but right this must not be, because of the lack of proper cable termination. RS232 is a rather slowly transmission technique, you cannot simply speed it up, without violating reliability.
