What exactly is the problem you're having, if any?
Your settings look ok, but I might have some insight if you describe your
problem.

I've got a Motorola MobileSurfr 56flex in the laptop I'm using.

Unfortunately, my provider is still using 33.6K modems.

But...
Motorola has a special dial up site for testing 56 flex modems.
It ought to be able to test yours, just don't tell 'em it's
not a Motorola ;-).

It'll give you a ppp connection that you can't really do anything with
but it will test your modem.

You can log into the test sight via linux using the following scripts.

I tried it a few times and got connections in the low 50's to
high 40's range.

Use the scripts below and then look at /var/log/messages
for the connect rate.  My modem spits out strings like:
CONNECT: 115200
CARRIER: 33600

-----------BEGIN startmottst---------------------
pppd connect motchat /dev/ttyS2 115200 remotename motorolatest name test1 crtscts modem defaultroute noipdefault
----------END startmottst----------------------

--------BEGIN motchat-------------------------
chat -t 90 -v ABORT BUSY "" ATDT12054309500 CONNECT ""
-------END motchat--------------------------
