I have no experience with long wire RS485 applications.  I find it hard 
to believe that an appropriately sized resistor is not on the top of the 
list of RS485 best practices.  I have solved so many "long" wire 
problems by just adding termination resistors (in my case long wires are 
actually short but appear long due to edge speeds).
