And a Nybble is 4 bits. And, at least among chip makers' assemblers, a

But, in asynchronous serial data communications (eg. modem) it takes
10.5 bits to send a byte :-)

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...

You're forgetting that high speed modems use synchronous communications between modems, even though they're asynchronous through the serial port. This allows the start & stop bits to be stripped off and reinserted at the other end.
