Yes, that was the implication, but I've been getting the impression that using baud is kinda unpopular compared to using sym/s.

A lot of people think that baud rate represents bits per second, which it only does in systems where the symbol set is binary. People got it from RS232.

IIRC, modems never went much beyond 2400 baud. Everything past that was clever modulation packing more bits onto a single symbol.

		Huh, I never thought of it that way but you're right.
