Hope I dun confuse people more with this simple reply. Buad is a measure of number of signal element per sec. Each signal element, depending on the modulation technique used, can encode 1, 2, 3 or more bits in it. If only 1 bit is represented in 1 signal element, then baud aprox bps (dun forget stopbit, chksum etc) BPS - The normal bit per sec we know. So, BPS is more of what we need to find out when buying a modem. But then, mot vendor dun tell this info. More confused eh? Kohyaw "casablanca"
