Bzzzt! And thanks for playing. Actually this would be a reasonably good
trivia question. The term 'baud' is used to indicate signalling states, the
term 'bits' is used to represent transmitted data. The ASR-33 transmits 110
signaling states (bauds) per second, out of every 11 one is a start bit,
eight are data bits, and two are stop bits, thus the number of bits per
second is actually 8/11 * 110 or 80 bits per second. When you use 8 bits to
represent a character this is 10 characters per second.
