Beyond the ultraworld of Jim Thompson:
From: Peter Shipley <shipley@tfs.COM>
at Interopt I heard some voice demos that were at 9600 4800 and 2400 baud the 2400 sounded a phoneme chip but was *very* resionable.
Quite likely what you heard were 9600/4800/2400bps (bits per second), not baud. The two are different. 2400bps compression of voice is quite a bit beyond current GP CPUs.
Well, almost true. 9600 baud !=9600 bps in modems. 9600 bps modems are actually 2400 token per seconds, with each token beeing 4 bit long. 2400 bps modems are also 2400 bauds (token per seconds) like the 9600 bps modems, but with each token beeing 1 bit.
Also, note that 9600 baud (V.32 carriers) are based on a 2400bps carrier.
No, it's the inverse 9600 bps are based on 2400 baud.
(And if they're not, I'm sure someone will correct me.) 2400 baud modems are based a bit rate something less than 2400bps, though I can't remember exactly what it is right now.
No, a 2400 bps modem is 2400 baud because each token is 1 bit long.
