Yes.  However, most people I know say "baud" when referring to
"bps".  I am aware of the difference, but say "baud" anyway.
In the future, this is going to be a confusion.  I think we
should all get this right now.  Saying "baud" is really pointless
unless you are intimate with the signaling details.
