I use a Sportster Voice 33.6 modem, and dial into the Demon COLT
number.

Typically Win 95 reports that I'm connected at 31.2K. Why not 33.6K?
I must say that the telephone system in my house is old and tortorous
- I think this may have something to do with it  !!

I've seen other postings where users have said that the "Connected"
message box shows 115K.

What is my effective speed?  Does it matter that the "Connected" box
only shows 31.3, i.e. is this showing the connection speed rather than
the serial port speed? I've set the maximum speed in the modem setup
to 115k.

Are there any Win 95 utilities around that I can use to get statistics
on connection speed, serial port speed, data compression algorithm
being used, data error rates, etc.?
