Not the "cat5 rule" as it's not CAT5 and it's not twisted. It will follow
the normal RS232 rules if anything.
Unless you mean you used UTP cables to make your rollover cable. 9600bps
is pretty forgiving much like 10Base-T. It'll pretty much run over anything.
It's good to see that there are so many CCIE-candiate widows out there!
