Autodetect baud?

Anyone know of a good method / idea to auto detect the baud rate of an rs232 connection? The lines I would be tapping into would have data streaming consistantly but would be unknown what the contents are, it does not use a sync bit either to grab onto.

    Just keep measuring negative-going pulses. After only a few bytes you should have found the shortest one, which will be one bit time long.

    Check out my uOLED-96-Prop contest submission... It requires that the transmitter send a special code, but otherwise autodetects bauds up to 57kbps...
