Generally OT/PPP seems to report the actual connection speed. What
OT/PPP does is determined by the modem script, somewhere in modem
scripts inside the extensions folder. I'd suggest looking at the script
to see what to change, or download the modem script generator from
apple.
My teleport platinum 33.6 uses a script from global villages web site,
and reports actual connection speed. If you mail me, I'll mail it to
you.
