Which end did you take the timings from? I assume the ISP end. If not, these numbers are meaningless.
With cslip, and 1.3.80, over masquerade, I'm getting 3.5 Kb/s with random data.
What happens if you do NOT set serial port to spd_vhi? I've never done that. I still don't see a reason to do it. Then again, I don't use the computer with the modem attached for much else, so the time spent talking to the modem isn't that important for me.
