54358 2002-06-14 05:21:00 I have a SwannSmart V90 56K external modem.
Connection speed - read with the cursor over the connection icon - reads 115200bps, but I am well aware that this is not the actual data transfer speed on line.
Does any one know what setting change (presumably to the modem commands)I can make in order to indicate the actual speed of the connection?

try the following url:

I find the generic drivers work perfectly well and there is no need to change a thing.

In control panel, modem properties> properties, connection, advanced. In extra settings include the line W2 this should show your actual connection speed.
