Definitions of Baud:

Unit of signaling speed. The speed in baud is the number of discrete conditions or events per second.
www.spacecom.com/about_spacecom/html/body_sat_terms.htm
The rate of data transmission based on the number of signal elements or symbols transmitted per second. Today most digital signals are characterised in bits per second.
www.spidersat.net/glossary/glossary_b.htm
The speed of a modem. Specifically, the number of times per second a communications channel changes the carrier signal it sends on the phone line. A 2400-baud modem changes the signal 2400 times a second. Baud is often confused with bits per second (bps). They are technically different measurements.
www.netdictionary.com/b.html
A unit of signaling speed equal to the number of signal events per second. Baud is equivalent to bits per second in cases where each signal event represents exactly one bit.
www.wgcu.org/watch/hdtv_glossaryofterms.html
In common usage the baud rate of a modem is how many bits it can send or receive per second.
www.jahadesign.com/glossary.htm
the prevalent measure for data transmission speed until replaced by a more accurate term, bps (bits per second). One baud is one electronic state change per second. Since a single state change can involve more than a single bit of data, the bps unit of measurement has replaced it as a better expression of data transmission speed.

a measure of the transmission rate over a modem.

When transmitting data, the number of times the medium's "state" changes per second.
www.netserv.ch/glossary.html
In common usage the baud rate of a modem is how many bits it can send or receive per second. Technically, baud is the number of times per second that the carrier signal shifts value - for example a 1200 bit-per-second modem actually runs at 300 baud, but it moves 4 bits per baud (4 x 300= 1200 bits per second).

A unit of data transmission speed.
www.rockprint.com/dictionary.shtml
Named after 19th century French engineer JME Baudot and much used in telegraphy, the baud-rate is the number of characters a second sent down a single communications channel. 1 baud=1 character per second. When the channel is transmitting bits, one baud equals one bit per second. Bauds are used to measure the speed of a communications channel.
www.christlinks.com/glossary2.html
A unit of measurement that denotes the number of bits that can be transmitted per second. For example, if a modem is rated at 9600 baud it is capable of transmitting data at a rate of 9600 bits per second. The term was derived from the name of JME Baudot, a French pioneer in the field of printing telegraphy.
www.incredible.co.za/services/glossary/glossary.asp
A unit of data transmission speed, or the maximum speed at which data can be sent down a channel. Baud is often equivalent to bits per second.
www-personal.umich.edu/~zoe/Glossary.html
This is a measure of how much bandwidth a transmission medium has. Baud is measured in bits per second (bps).
pershing-cib.ibanking-services.com/mellon/internet_glosry_B.htm
A unit of signaling speed representing the number of code elements sent per second; often, bits per second.
www.novalynx.com/glossary-b.html
unit measuring the speed of transmission of data over telecommunications lines. (Keenan, p.61)
www.lib.monash.edu.au/vl/glossind.htm
A communication channel's maximum information-carrying capacity in symbols (state or level transitions) per second. The baud rate coincides with bits per second only for two-level modulation with no framing or stop bits.
www.tamu.edu/ode/glossary.html
A measure of signal changes per second. Often used incorrectly in place of bps (bits per second).
www.56k.com/glossary.shtml
A measure of modem speed equal to one signal per second.
www.rainwater.com/glossary/b.html
A unit of signalling speed. Very commonly, but incorrectly, used to mean line speed.
www.mda.org.uk/net_term.htm
A unit of digital transmission signaling speed of information transmission; the highest number of single information elements (bits) transferred between two devices in one second.
www.acponline.org/computer/telemedicine/glossary.htm
A unit of measurement for modem speed, synonymous with bits per second (bps). A 56K modem has a speed of 56,000 baud or 56,000 BPS
www.verio.com/support/files/glossary.cfm
Named after JME Baudot (1845-1903), the French engineer who constructed the first successful teleprinter, baud refers to the rate at which signals can be sent over telephone lines.
www.sfsu.edu/~humanity/helpsite/new/glossary.html
A description of the rate of data transmission usually expressed in bit rate measurements of thousand bits per second (Kb/s). A 14.4 Baud modem for example will accommodate a bit rate of 14,400 bits per second.
www.adec.edu/tag/glossary.html
The rate of data transmission in serial data communications, approximately equal to one bit per second.
www.microlink.co.uk/design/daq.html
(computer science) a data transmission rate (bits/second) for modems
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
In telecommunications and electronics, baud (pronounced ) is a measure of the "signaling rate" which is the number of changes to the transmission media per second in a modulated signal. It is named after Émile Baudot, the inventor of the Baudot code for telegraphy.
