Re: Forcing modem connection to 57600 bps

48000 and 46667 are just about par in many areas. The speed of a
connection is negotiated between the two modems, and depends on line
conditions. I live in a fairly old neighbourhood, and unless you've got
a very good modem, you'll only get those speeds here. I spent some extra
money quite a while ago and got a high-quality modem(although part of it
was luck), and I can usually connect at somewhere around 54000. But what
you're getting seems to be normal. If you were down in the 33.6k or
28.8k area, I'd worry that maybe something isn't set up rigt, but since
you're getting such high speeds(compared to the alternatives ;), I
wouldn't worry. Maybe you could bitch to the phone company about bad
lines, but that's just about it.
