The reference is probably to "hidden" registers ala S120 in the T2500.
S120 doesn't show when you display the settings until you actually set
it to some value and then it appears.  The WorldBlazer has the same
ability to change things but it's a bit more involved.  You have to
enter a debug mode, set the register and exit debug.  I've heard of a
few for the WB but didn't record what they affected.

The new TB+ PROMs are perhaps a net gain - v.42/v.42bis is included in
the "fix".
