I've got a 56K v92 modem. Why do I see CONNECT 40000 v44 in Kinternet log? How can I be sure that I'm using the best speed? Thank you.
The modem negotiates a mutually acceptable speed with the server it's connecting with (and can re-negociate if necessary.) Given line noise, gain, component quality, system load, and a host of other things, I don't think anyone ever actually gets 56K from a modem. I'd be relatively ok with 44, but you could ask your teleco to test the line quality, and maybe tinker with the gain. I don't reckon you'd get much improvement tho.
