If you want the current *line* speed, this varies over time as the latest
modems regotiate between themselves to adjust to varying phone line conditions.
I use the following to, at least, report the last speed used by the modem.
This is modem specific (I have a USR 33.6 fax/modem) and some modems may not
have any equivalent option.  The USR has several ``AT'' commands to report
statistics; I use I6 and the undocumented I11 in my dial strings.  That way
the results show up in the log file (``set log Connect'' must also be enabled.)

My dial string is:

set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATI6I11 OK ATZ OK AT&F&A3&B1&H1&K3&R2X4 TIMEOUT 30 OK ATDT\\T CONNECT"
                                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^

The results in the log file are:

At least I can see what the last speed was.
