I don't believe there is such a thing. All modems have an industry standard 56k/33k speed as far as I know.
I had to look this up because my brain was telling me that's not true. I have forgotten much about dial-up standards with the dreamcast being the only reason to revisit this information. Turns out there was a faster upload speed for v92 modems.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dial-up_Internet_accesshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V.92Connection / standard / download / upload
56k kbps (V.90) 56.0/33.6 kbit/s
56k kbps (V.92) 56.0/48.0 kbit/s
So I was right; but wrong in remembering that it was only a small portion of dial-up history that had faster than 33.6k upload speeds.
So I'm not sure how it would work with a v92 compatible USB modem and the DC modem; but I would think a v92 usb modem would be able to send data at 48kbps to the Dreamcast, which is an increase in receive speed; and pretty darn close to as close to as fast as possible as we can get this setup to go.
/off to dig out the info about TacT's usb modems...
