Go into the Modems control panel. Open the Properties sheet for the
ThinkPad Modem. Go to the Advanced tab and in the "extra initialization
commands" box enter "W1" (without the quotes, of course). This tells the
modem to report the actual connect speed instead of the port speed.

(I'm looking at the control panel in Windows 2000, not NT4, so the dialog
layout might be a bit different, but I seem to recall this part of it was
the same.)
