Please QUOTE me were the Definition of BAUD MUST be an Analogue Signal.

Please QUOTE me were the Definition says PHONE LINES.

Nowere in the definition of BAUD does it state that DIGITAL Singals are NOT
¨allowed to be described as having a baud. All it says is Phyical State
¨changes, And RS232 Does have 2 Physical state changes.

Please QUOTE the Definition of BAUD that States 'Carrier Cycles'

Of course its a Singal. I cant think of any possable way to say its not a
¨Signal. Its is a Voltage Level Signalling '1' or '0'
