If you are simply looking at the reported connect speeds, those numbers
won't necessarily be dependable or even comparable, since modems can 
(and often do) speed shift up and down after the initial connection in a
manner dependent on the particular connection as well as the particular
equipment (including firmware versions) at each end.  See my FAQ at
<http://www.aimnet.com/~jnavas/modem/faq.html#Connect28800>.
Furthermore, all that really matters is net data throughput, and a
slower solid connection can often move more data per minute than a
faster but less stable connection.

NetMedic is pretty much meaningless.
