Everyone called it BAUD but it was really the bits per second. Today most people still use the term "Dot per inch" for prints and scans and it is truly pixel per inch.
Modems were marketed as 300 Baud or 14,000 Baud. I paid some stupid price like 300 bucks for that first 300 baud modem and that was when the phone company owner the network. We were supposed to get a business phone line to hook up the equipment. Virtually no one did because the phone police did not chase down hobbyists.
