The speed indicated here, e.g. 49,333 is the initial connect speed
and should not be relied on as the final working speed since V.90/92
can re-negotiate the speed any time it thinks it ought to.

On a Windows machine, this initial speed is reported by hovering the
mouse pointer over the modem icon in the System Tray.
