OK, according to "Technical Aspects of Data Communication," John McNamara, Copyright 1977 by Digital Equipment Corporation, these are speeds for asynchronous communications (doesn't seem to have a sync table): Five bit: 45.45 50 56.86 74.2 75 91 Six bit: 45.45 48 49.1 55.21 56.75 56.86 60.6 66.67 69.25 74.2 80 135 Seven bit: 45.45 56.75 61.35 67.34 74.2 75 76.92 100 134.5 <- IBM 1050, 2740, 2741 std. speed (selectric-based terms) 600 Eight bit: 45.45 56.75 67.58 73.33 74.07 74.1 74.2 84.61 100 110 135 150 165 Model 37 TTY for Western Union then 300 up to 9600 For stop bits, the book lists 1, 1.42, 1.5, and 2. The difference stop bits are what make for such weird numbers, though some modems have even more bizzare rates, such as 200 (top speed of British Post Office Datel 200 service), and 1800 (top speed of Bell 20-type modems).
