How do you see what your connection speed is when using wvdial to connect to the internet?

If your modem is configured to report real outside speed, and not serial link speed, wvdial will print that in the "connect" string: --> Waiting for carrier. ATDT90839... CONNECT 50666/ARQ/V90/LAPM/V42BIS --> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately. Then, if what you need is the real measured speed on usage, then run one of those applets or gadgets displaying connection speed. I use gkrellm. In text mode, you can use iptraf. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
