The wording in FTS-5000 is pretty much the same, certainly as far as
supporting the value 38400 is concerned:

          Field 7 - Baud rate

             This field contains the maximum baud rate supported by the node.
             (eg: 9600, 14400, 38400, etc)

Of course, strictly speaking both technical standards are wrong.  The
numbers they give as examples clearly indicate that it is actually a BPS
rate not a Baud rate.
