That, at least, *is* standardized. (While far too many people don't
seem to know it, that's nothing new.) (Even a "2400 baud" modem really
is 2400 baud if you measure it at the correct place, namely, the serial
line interfacing it to the host. This is what you more or less have to
do to make higher-speed modem speeds make any sense anyway.)
