Baud means symbols per second, so baud/sec means : symbols per second per second : or the rate change of the rate of moving symbols (acceleration). : Don't know what the unit is, or where one would use it (probably in a : transciever specification where the baud clock is allowed to change at : some maximum rate or some such) How about measuring deceleration of bauds when both modem fall back its speed... Similar unit is bit/second/second. Very usefull thing, when you describe speed of negotiation protocol. I wonder what are result b/s/s for different (300/1200/2400/9600/14400/28800 + MNP or LAPM) modems. Some of my friends complain, that their new modems negotiate longer than transmitting actual data... J. : -Jon
