Well, I just got this external modem and got it set up and connected. Wow, I look at the speed according to the icon and it says 115200 bps..............that can't be...it is a 56K modem.
So I download a 3MB file and see what the numbers are.
It took 10 min-20 sec to download. It started at 10KB/s and ended up at 4.96 KB/s download speed.

I'm not very good at figuring this out but what bps would that work out to? It can't be 115200 bps, could it.

I also remember someone writing about a small program that is part of Windows that shows the modem speed. Anyone remember what it is and where it is??

Hey, thanks in advance for the math lesson!

112.5kbps. Don't worry that is not what your really connected at. It is an OS mistake.
