I use TCP Monitor for modem speed -- that displays current speeds
graphically
and gives a pretty accurate readout when compared with Anarchie or
Netscape,
and TCP Watcher for checking packet loss, resends, etc. etc. There is also
a patch to PPP Config that lets you know what speed your modem connects
to Demon at.

All this good stuff is on Demon's FTP site.
