Watch the connect speeds for a while during the connection. One of my
personal legacy modems (Mac SupraExpress33.6) often starts with the receive
direction (Portmaster's point-of-view) at 4800 or 7200...but as bytes pass
that direction it works up to around 24000. So does my legacy early Mac
Supra 56e (which is the best V.34 modem I have at the house [including the
Global Village Platinum I lent out recently], but may never become a 56K
modem--certainly not soon).
