600E internal modem is not made by Lucent, it is an IBM Mwave modem.

The last few versions of the Mwave driver allow v.90 operation, so you 
should get speeds above 32000. However, at least with my 600E, I've 
found that the Mwave modem does not negotiate as high a connect speed as 
other modems. I have a cheap Supra Express here that connects at speeds 
about 20% faster than the Mwave, on the same line calling the same modem 
pool.

You can get the current Mwave driver from IBM here:

Or you can see if your Linux distribution has the current version 
packaged. I don't know of any configuration tweaks that would help 
speed. I've been using the installed default settings, what few there are.
