Install "native" drivers from IBM site.
I had this problem before.
After reinstalling the appropriate drivers Dial-up Networking will display
the real speed.

Subject: thinkpad modem -- what's the connect speed?

| When using the Mwave modem on the TP600E running Windows NT (2645-8AU),
| Dial-up Networking displays the maximum connect speed (as set in Control
| Panel/Modems) rather than the actual connect speed. I have to fire up the
| Thinkpad Modem applet to get the actual connect speed.
|
| I don't have this problem with other Thinkpads running NT. Any idea how to
| fix it?
|
| Thanks in advance

| ps. Yes, I know that modems can and do retrain during a call. But I
| sometimes connect at rates as low as 14.4 kbit/s, and it's not helpful
when
| DUN tells me I'm in at 57.6 kbit/s.
