Why do you say this?  I quote from Supra's 336_list.txt
S95     Extended Result Code Control (default sum is 0)
        Any non-zero value in this register controls the result code
        without regard to the current Wn setting.
        Each bit set high in this register enables the corresponding
        resultcode regardless of the W command setting.
        Bit (Decimal Value)
         0 (1)   CONNECT XXXX result code gives DCE to DCE rate instead
                 of local DTE to DCE rate.
         1 (2)   Append /ARQ to CONNECT code if an error protocol is
                 active
         2 (4)   Enable CARRIER XXXX result code
         3 (8)   Enable PROTOCOL XXXX result code
         4 (16)  Undefined
         5 (32)  Enable COMPRESSION result code
         6 (64)  Enable TX & RX v.34 CARRIER result code if in
                 asymmetric Carrier mode (requires W1 or s95.b2 set)
         7 (128) Enable RINGING result code for ringback detection
If I want CONNECT XXX/ARQ, Protocol, & Compression Displayed, you end up
with 1+2+8+32=43!  Thus S95=43 is the option of choice.  This gives me
something like the following....

This is what I want...
-> Do you have Caller ID on your modem line? If so, make sure you set
-> your NVRAM to: #CID=1.  Here are the settings I use on my modem: 
->  
I DO have #CID=1. :-)  And if S95 is set Hight, I get the junk as a
function of the CID being turned on..  Try it yourself. 
If we can prove it's a bug in the ROM code, maybe we can get them to fix
it!? :-)
Hope I'm making myself clearer.. :-)
