    Bored

    If I receive 1200 bytes at 1200 baud, how long will that take?
    12 seconds right?

    I could be wrong but I thought Baud was bits per second, which means 8 seconds (as there are 8 bits per byte)

    IIRC from my college networking class long ago, the professor made it a point for us to remember you can send more or less than one bit per baud. Then again, if the modem is old enough to give its speed in baud, it probably doesn't have the capability for more than one bit per baud.

    In other words, bps does not equal the baud rate.

    I sincerely hope you're not still using a 1200 baud.
