You seem to be confusing baud and bits per second. Baud is symbols per second. Usually one symbol represents multiple bits. AFAIK in 56k modems one symbol corresponds up to 7 bits.

I am not confusing anything, it was the marketing that was confusing

Of course you're correct and a 56k modem is something like 8k Baud, but in marketing the bigger number usually wins

And up until the 2400bps modems IIRC bauds and bps were interchangeable
