Several have questioned this. Check out the following found via
altavista:

http://www.bugnet.com/usrpause.html
http://www.carabelli.com/lore/usrincident.html
http://www.virtual-voice.com/doormouse/wtide_december.html

and if you can read fine print:

http://www.usr.com/home/online/trblshot/13015.htm
                                              ^^^
                         what does this tell you?

Had to sneak an anti-M$ plug in there ;-)

The USR site used to mention the s12=0 but now a PROM change.
The others mention s12=0. One mentions &k0 in the init string.
