        Interesting, that a part I didn't know, but in that case
        it *IS* a USR "bug" as their code doesn't follow the spec.
        (Its an old problem though...like the bits from Rockwell
        fax chipsets being inverted, and the rest of the industry
        following because the software authors where (mostly)
        only willing to code ONE way).  I just *LOVE* technology
        industries.  ...ah well, at least it mostly works in the
        long run...
