...and do not forget, that you have a START and a STOP Bit which mean,
a 56 kBit has 57344 Bit per second but can transfer only 45875 Bits or
44,8 kByte per second.
This real data traffic is called BAUD.
Note: Additional to the STOP and the START Bit you can have
additional bits and a STOP bit can have 1 1/2 time of
the normal lenght...
