Like RFC1877, Microsoft's unilateral non-standard for DNS server IP
address negotiation, supported in the Portmaster software since 3.3.2
or so? :-)

Yeah. A lot of people were able to connect at speeds higher than 14.4
for a long time (in datacom years) until the ITU was finally able to
publish a v.34 standard and the modem vendors were finally able to
implement it.
That's bad, is it?
