We will get several comments after this post...
I hope y'all will correct me.
The acoustic coupler on the old teletype was 1200 baud, 10 characters per
second
That to me implies 120 signal line changes for each character. Can you
please explain what the heck was going on :-)
More seriously, most old TTY modems _were_ 10 characters per second, but
were 110 baud. 11 signal line changes per character -- start bit, 8 data
bits (or 7 data + parity), 2 stop bits.
