But it isn't, that's my point.  There are two speeds, one in one direction 
and the other going back.  If the two speeds happen not to be the same, due 
to line conditions, then each end will see something different.  Your modem 
isn't lying, is it?
If you do an ATI2, what does it report?  Mine says
    Last Speed/Protocol     28800/24000/ARQ/V.34/V42b
about my last connection.  The connect message said
    Connect 28800/Arq/V.34/V42B
at my end, but the other guy would have seen CONNECT 24000 most likely.
Don't forget that the speed can go up and down during the connection, so the 
original Connect message and the Last Speed report can be quite different.
