well, if you connect to internet, move the cursor to the icon on the

120K or whatever, that's what I want to get calculated..
If you are using a dial-up adapter, it is true that many of the modem
drivers will report their actual connect speed. Similarly, a wireless
network drive _may_ report it's current connect speed.
But this information isn't useful generally, because only certain devices
report the speed that the device is actually connected at (for example,
some wireless adapters always look like 10Mbps devices, or 54Mbps devices,
or some other default value), _and_ in addition the speed that the device
is aware of may not be the actual Internet connection speed anyway (so
even if the device always reported as accurate information as it has, that
still won't tell you what you say you want to know).
As I wrote before: the only thing you can do to reliably know the
information you say you want to know is to measure it directly.
