Not quite. Global Village modems return the DTE speed only, unless you
include W1 or W2 in the init string.

Maybe you have the wrong modem script selected in your modem control panel.
My 33.6 teleport platinum is happiest with a script called "GV 28.8/33.6
for ATA 2.1 OT/PPP" and correctly reports the DCE speed.
