The DHV-11 supports 38.4K Baud, I believe, and I know it supports
19.2K Baud, since I use it.  As for whether or not the length of the
terminal line is a problem, the only answer I know is to try it.  If
it works, fine.  I've had 1000 foot lines work at 9600 baud, after
being told it woudn't.  You might also consider some sort of
line-driver, which extends the range of RS-232 communcations.  Black
Box people, for example, make these.
