And, what's the init on the USR, and is it a Sportster or a Courier?  You 
could make sure that V.8 Call Indicate is disabled on the Sportster (use ATS$ 
 in terminal mode to list the register settings.  V.8 CI moved around 
a bit, depending on the model.  It's S32 bit 0 in mine).  Be sure it's only 
the V.8 Call Indicate you disable, you need V.8 itself.  You could also try 
using MNP vice V.42 - Use S15=128 (but check the register display first to 
ensure this is the correct register to disable V.42).
