Perhaps the speeds were 300 and 1,200 baud? It was a long time ago.
actual Teletype KSR/ASR 33 kind of machines were 110 baud (10 cps, as they used 2 stop bits)
110 baud definitely rings a bell. I saw my first Teletype in 1967/1968 at Scotland's National Engineering Laboratory (NEL). Chugging away, it seemed to be an exciting example of "real" computing - and it wasn't a bit like punched cards.
