This is just a theory, but I believe the Max is reporting the upstream
(v.34) connection speed.  (don't forget that K56 is asymmetrical).

There is a new radius accounting attribute being supported in the
incremental releases, called "Ascend-Xmit-Rate", and I think that
will report the number you're looking for.

Like I said, these are just "theories", anyone who knows better please
correct me.
