>>> And, just to pick nits, it's 19200bps, not 19200 baud. Actually, unless you're talking weird speeds, 19200 baud, 19200 (potential) line state changes per second, is equally correct, since serial lines of this sort fundamentally encode one bit per baud.

True, but for serial lines, they generally are the same: exactly one bit per baud. > In this case they [baud and bps] are in all likelihood the same but > the correct rating for expression would still be bps. Depends on which one you care about. Since they are the same here, and indeed for all serial lines most people will ever meet, I'd be hard pressed to call either more correct than the other. The only case I can think of where you'd care is when you're trying to compare versus communication protocols which are _not_ one bit per baud, something almost nobody - statistically speaking - does. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
