That is correct for most modern modems.  If I pull a few of my older modems
out for usage (very unlikely), the DTE speed *DID* change based on the
connect speed....  Reason I'm unlikely to pull out the old haardware except
in extream emergencies, is that it only supports 300 and 1200 bps. 
  By the time we got above 2400 bps on most user modems, you
could start locking the speed from the computer to the modem....

Take care.....
