Your modem manual will tell you the specific
option to
enable extended result codes which will be
displayed in the
ppp.log.

I use enable throughput and set hangup "\"\" AT
OK-AT-OK AT&V1 OK"
AT&V1 tells me the high and low modem speeds, pads
found signal
quality etc.

Your modem AT options may differ.

Hi,

I'm currently running the user ppp for dialling up to my ISP, on FreeBSD
2.2.7. It works great. Now I'd like to know at what speed
is my modem connected to the ISP - is there any switch somewhere in
the ppp.conf file or some way I (or my program, actually)
can read it?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. AT&V1 works for me too. However I'd like to know
the CARRIER speed on connect... not at hang up :) Any tricks? I was
considering using a chat script to read me the CARRIER string returned
by the modem at connection. Any other ways?

Thanks.

Close. Add "set log +chat" to the appropriate section of
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf, then look in /var/log/ppp,log once the
connection is up.

Try adding W2 to your modem setup string (eg. AT&FW2). My modem
normally returns the modem->serial port rate (always 115200), but with
W2 it returns the connection rate (typically 40000 or 42000 with my
56kflex) Then check your /var/log/ppp.log file for the results.

There's probably a way of sending this information to the console but
I haven't looked into it.
