There are a number of different modems, and sometimes you get stuck with
less than optimum rates. I have a Practical SA9600, and the best I can
get is what Jeff Kunce described above. 

I got my best stuff by locking the computer to modem at 38,400 and letting
the modems negotiate the transfer speeds and protocol adjuncts.
