Somewhere in your modem settings or in OT/PPP you must be able to make the
program report either the computer to modem speed (DTE) or the connect
speed. I'm afraid that, using FreePPP and a Courier, I can't help much on
this. But it must be switchable somewhere.

Hmmm. That was rather useless...

But the point is that you shouldn't have to use another utility to get what
you want; the modem can report the connect speed and OT/PPP can show it. I
have a friend who uses a teleport platinum PCMCIA card on her Powerbook,
with OT/PPP, and she sees the transmit speed every time. Those are the
default settings; she hasn't had to change anything to see it.
