Maybe you're using a very strange modem configuration. OT/PPP reports back exactly what the modem told it when it connected. My USR modem connects at different speeds (31.2 or 33.6 usually) and each time the OT/PPP control panel tells me what speed it connected at /that time/. It would appear that your modem is configured always to announce connections at 57600. Some modem manufacturers provide such a setting so that their modems appear to be working faster than they really are. Simon. -- Simon Slavin, using a temporary setup.
