1. What is the exact modem model? You can put extra settings into the initialization string to only connect at or between certain speeds.

2. Before you actually do this, it's a fact that connecting TOO fast for your line conditions can actually make your throughput SLOWER because of excessive error correction.

Both of which are winmodems - you will get better connections with a hardware modem such as a USR 2977 or an external serial with a USR or Conexant chipset.
