On USR (now 3com) modems, doing +++ followed by ATI6 will tell you, but of
course that's only helpful for a terminal session and doesn't help you 
for a PPP session... :)

If you have Total Control hubs, you can get the ATI6 info out-of-band via
SNMP.  Portmaster 3's I think have something similar.  But that's all on
the server end.  Other than that, or buying a modem with an LCD display as
mentioned, there's not really any good way.
