Is there any way of determining current connect speed. You can't go
into AmTerm at the same time you are connected, and Genesis doesn't
automatically update.
Maybe there is a piece of shareware available which intercepts the
connect speed or something to display it ?!
Or would that just be pointless? I've got no idea of how often
retrains occur. If the speed varies by the second then it's not going
to be very helpful, is it?
