On a hardwired TIA-232 link, baud rate and bit rate are the same. If a pair of short-haul modems is introduced, as was a once-common arrangement in large factories and adjacent buildings sharing a common host, the baud rate between the modems will usually be lower than the bit rate on the TIA-232 connections to the modems, since the bandwidth limits of analog telephone lines still apply.
