  You are right - The TTY33ASR had 8 level punched paper tape, and the modem
was 110 baud (in those days that equalled 110bps) as it sent 10cps and a
character was one start bit, 8 bits for the character - even parity, and 2
stop bits.  Mine was used as a terminal to a 360.

P.S. There was one which sent Baudot - and needed shift up/down codes for
the full character set.
