(No modem) You are wrong baud != bit/sec Taken from britannica.com Each element of the modulated carrier wave is known as a baud. In FSK, employed by early voiceband modems beginning in the early 1960s, one baud represents one bit, so that a modem operating at 300 bauds per second (or, more simply, 300 baud) will transmit data at 300 bits per second (bps). In PSK and QAM, each baud represents several bits; with some modern modems operating at greater than 2,400 baud, it is possible to achieve data transmission rates as high as 28,800 bits, or 28.8 kilobits, per second.

But this is not really relevant, because usually you report the real transmission rate. (amount of data transimtted/ unit of time, and not data+overhead/time) CV> 33.6Kbaud it is 33.6 Kbit/s !!!
