Does it really matter how far? What's entailed in termination? resister between wire X and Y?

Looked around and found one source that said the far end should be terminated with a 120 ohm resistor. It also said the total daisy chain could be 1.2kilometers long. I'll ignore both items. |

I'd be happy to build a little terminator that just plugs in if it fixes a single error, and it it follows the RS485 spec better.
