Those things always confuse me. I think 2400 baud modems were like 9600 bps? At least 56k modems were 8000 baud.

- raverbashing 8mo agono, the other way 2400 were 300 bytes per second (though it might be that 9600bps worked at the 'official definition' of 2400 baud but nobody advertised it like that)
- vardump 8mo agoYou seem to be confusing baud and bits per second. Baud is symbols per second. Usually one symbol represents multiple bits. AFAIK in 56k modems one symbol corresponds up to 7 bits.
- raverbashing 8mo agoI am not confusing anything, it was the marketing that was confusing Of course you're correct and a 56k modem is something like 8k Baud, but in marketing the bigger number usually wins And up until the 2400bps modems IIRC bauds and bps were interchangeable
