Actually the RS-232 standard doesn't specify bit rates at all, although it does suggest bit rates above 20,000 aren't supported. I routinely use a baud rate just below 1e6 Baud for a debug port on embedded systems I'm working on. That connects using a FTDI serial to USB cable. It would commonly be called RS-232, even though no part of the system bears any relationship to the RS-232 standard which is all about plugs and signalling levels.
To my way of thinking a serial cable between two devices is essentially the definition of a "connection", although that has become a much abused word in this context, rather like RS-232 actually.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
