No, Baud and BPS are different. Baud is the number of
signalling changes
per second. Normally, each signal change gives one bit and then Baud ==
BPS, but if you encode more than one bit per signal change then they are
not the same. This is easily achieved if you have different voltages mean
different values. For example, if you use -10V, -5V, 5V and 10V to encode
0, 1, 2 and 3 then the bit rate is twice the baud rate.
My ignorance stands naked as the day I was born.
