  bits per second
  bps
  
     <communications, unit> (bps, b/s) The unit in which data rate
      is measured.
  
     For example, a modem's data rate is usually measured in
     kilobits per second.  In 1996, the maximum modem speed for
     use on the PSTN was 33.6 kbps, rising to 56 kbps in 1997.
  
     Note that kilo- (k), mega- (M), etc. in data rates denote
     powers of 1000, not 1024.
