I get 3.8026 years, figuring four seconds per bit, 10 bits (start/stop/8
data -- this is serial asynchronous, after all) per byte, and 365.25 days
per year:

octave:1> rate=0.25
rate = 0.25000
octave:2> bytes=3e6
bytes = 3000000
octave:3> bits=10*bytes
bits = 30000000
octave:4> seconds = bits/rate
seconds = 120000000
octave:5> hours = seconds/3600
hours =  3.3333e+04
octave:6> days = hours/24
days = 1388.9
octave:7> years = days/365.25
years = 3.8026
octave:8>

Must be all those folks trying to escape the chain of being shackled to
their high speed DSL :-)
