   Well, at first, modems can fall back|go up with speed during connection. 
n
V.34bis they can even start with 4800 and grow up to 33600 (and vice versa ;(
   At second, there's _two_ speeds - Rx & Tx, and they may differ a lot; just
look this statistics, for example:
   Link Type         V.34Bis
   Line Speed        14400/28800
   Serial Speed      57600 8N1
   Error Ctrl/Comp   Lap-M/V.42Bis
   Symbol Rate       3200/3200
   Carrier Freq      1829/1920
   Trellis Encoder   4D 64-State/4D 16-State
   Precoding         Off/On
   Shaping           On/On
   Nonlinear Encoder On/On
   Preemphasis       4/8
   Tx/Rx Level       -12/-29 (-28 Avg) Db
   Snr               20 (39 Avg) Db
   Near/Far Echo     -26/-62 Db
It's clear, that in Internet online You'll receive much more info then send. 
So the difference between Rx & Tx speeds is substantional.
   And at last, 33600 with a lot of long retrains is much slower than 14400
without them. Maybe your old Motorola was much more optimistic about line
quality and got a lot of retrains...
        Best Regards,
