I have a bet with a friend of mine about the information reported by those two little pc's that are in the bottom right and show connection speed.
I was always had the understanding that is the showing the negotiated speed between the your modem and the modem on the other side.
He is telling me that it is the connection speed between the serial port AND the modem itself. This make no sence to me because if that was true then the speed would not change. I then asked him why it would change on internal modems with no serial connection. He informed me it was doing SERIAL EMULATION! ( I honestly tried no to laugh at that because he is just learning )
I'm not above admitting I'm wrong so I'm asking here before I go to him and start repeating "SERIAL EMULATION" in my homer simpson voice over and over.
thanks for any help
