For the multiplexer style serial interfaces, yes. But just thinking about VAX-11 and PDP-11... for system consoles (the equivalent of what you get in the VAX or PDP-11 simh emulator) the baud rate was either set with wire-wrap (DL11 or DLV11J type boards), with dipswitches (third part DL11 emulating boards), a little knob at the console port, or in at least one non-DEC 11 compatible, in nonvolatile configuration RAM. Pretty much "fixed baud" for the console. I have no doubt someone will put DLV11J style wire wrap terminals on a little panel and wire it up to a patched version of SIMH to allow console baud rates to change on the fly :-) Tim.
