Baud (short for baudot) has nothing to do with the modem.
The normal teletype baud rate is (was) 110 baud. (No modem)
The serial transmission rate is neither just DATA bits or DATA bytes per
second due to the overhead of one start bit and at least one stop bit.
But in the case of the teletype that's two stop bits and in other cases it
can be almost any silly number you want, <G>
So, to transmit a BYTE of teletype data you must send 11 bits.
If you specify BAUDrate then supposedly the reader will know what arithmetic
is required to get the BYTErate.
To get the byte rate, divide baud by the #bits/char.
33.6Kbaud is 33600/10 bytes per second. (Compression not considered)
