Is the new modem a 4100 or a 4100b? |

That's ok. The 4100b squeezes a little more attenuation and noise margin improvement out of the loop, but no more speed unless the line is having problems.
The 4100 has a nifty diagnostic that seems to be undone by the 4100b: »SBC DSL FAQ »What do the hybrid numbers mean and what do they tell you about your line? |
