It depends... since the STOP Bit can have 1 Bit, 1 1/2 or 2 Bit.
And of course you can use some other bit too.
AFAIK you can get up to 13 Bit to transfer 8 Bit of data but the
minimum is 10 Bit.
So if you have a 56k Modem, you can transfer Data with
44,8 kBaud using one normal START and STOP bit
and
34,4 kBaud using one normal START bit a double long
STOP bit and the XOR and EVEN/ODD bit...
