well, i am basing that experience on my GV 33.6 moden too (by the way
what is the fatest download speed you have achieved with it? i often
get into 70,000bps+ once i got 84,300bps out of it!)  but other than
that, i couldnt give you a positive yeah or nay cos i havent used the
built in modem of a G3 PB.  However, if it uses a similar chipset to
that of a global village, there wouldnt be the need to change its
maximum port speed rate cos the 56k is far lower than 155,200bps
apparent 'limit' (really?) so why would they bother to change it? 
Well, that could be one reason, anyway.
