Well, the DCE speed is the modem-modem speed, the speed set in "properties" 
is the DTE speed (modem - PC).
That aside, the USR will return:
CONNECT ///
with the default setting AT&F1.  Specifically, the &An command controls what 
is returned, with AT&A3 returning the whole string.  Here's an example:
CONNECT 28800/ARQ/V34/LAPM/V42BIS
Here's a Win95 Modemlog.txt that shows the process in Win95:
   ----- MODEMLOG.TXT begins -----
03-23-1998 13:59:34.35 - Modem type: Sportster 56000 Fax External
03-23-1998 13:59:34.35 - Modem inf path: USRSPX2.INF
   --------CUT-------
03-23-1998 13:59:37.45 - Dialing.
03-23-1998 13:59:37.45 - Send: ATDT#######
03-23-1998 13:59:56.24 - Recv: CONNECT 
28800/ARQ/V34/LAPM/V42BIS

03-23-1998 13:59:56.24 - Interpreted response: Connect

03-23-1998 13:59:56.24 - Connection established at 28800bps.

03-23-1998 13:59:56.24 - Error-control on.

03-23-1998 13:59:56.24 - Data compression on.

   ----- MODEMLOG.TXT ends -----
Win95's Dial Up Networking doesn't simply "display" the connect string, it 
attempts to match it with data from the .INF file and it determines what to 
display depending on whether a successful match was obtained.
That's why a proper .INF file is necessary to see the DCE speed displayed.
