- Not to get on your case, or flame you at all but I thought I would correct
- you on something. Baud and bps are two different things. Baud is the
- number of times a signal changes state in one second, so 2400 baud
- straigt up would be 2400 bps. However, with compression, v.32 for
- example, 14400 bits are being transfered within 2400 signal changes.
- Damn good compression. 6:1. As I understand it, every household can do 2400
- baud with newer phone lines capable of 9600 baud. As for 28.8 Kbps and
- v.34 I don't know if it requires higher than 2400 baud.. anyone know?
- 12:1 compression seems *real* high. Again, this is not to disrespect you in
- anyway, I know I like learning about these things... if anyone can set me
- straight about something let me know.

- Sorry about the unrealated content to the list.
