 SK> Generally baud rate and bitrate (bps) are the same.

Bollocks. They are not the same at all.

 SK> Technically baud rate refers to the number of signal changes per second.

There is no "technical" about it. Baud rate *IS* the number of
signal changes per second.

 SK> So a baud rate of 2400 could equal a bit rate of 4800 or 9600

Nope.
