baud barf: /bawd barf/ n. The garbage one gets a terminal (or
terminal emulator) when using a modem connection with some protocol
setting (esp. line speed) incorrect, or when someone picks up a
voice extension on the same line, or when really bad line noise
disrupts the connection. Baud barf is not completely random, by
the way; hackers with a lot of serial-line experience can usually
tell whether the device at the other end is expecting a higher or
lower speed than the terminal is set to. _Really_ experienced ones
can identify particular speeds.
