It's about as hopeless as telling someone that a
2400 bps 201B
modem does not run at 2400 "baud".
Actually, it _does_ - on the host
serial port. (Unless I'm _still_
confused about exactly what a baud is....)
Does one count start and stop bits? In
that case, 2400 bps would be
3000 Baud on the host serial port.
Hm? I always thought serial-port "baud" rates measured raw bits per
second. Since I pretty much invariably use one start, 8 data, and one
stop bits, that means, eg, 2400 baud <-> 240 characters per second. (I
also thought baud rates measured the raw symbol rate, drawing no
distinction between data and framing symbols....)
Are those impressions wrong?
