Symbols/second = baud (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baud)

And, ignoring other physical or 'current technology' limits, you can put as many bits in each symbol as you like.

Thank you! Can't believe I couldn't remember that word, although I never really understood why you can put as many bits in each symbol as you like - it seems like that would just mean stuff an infinite number of bits into each one? (Obviously silly, but then why is it defined that way?) - Great, now I have to read about that this morning. :)
