Hey, I was only being pedantic :-) I quite often use the wrong terminology

There used to be a standard question in one of the Computer Science courses
I took where you had to know the difference - caught lots of students out
with that one!

No, Baud and
BPS are different. Baud is the number of signalling changes
But they aren't different on ASR-33s, nor on the modems that were normally
used on ASR-33s (Bell 103 equivalent).
