Gary,
I would also encourage you to specify FMAX since it sounds like you are
going to deliver a model for someone else to use.  Otherwise they might
use it outside its range of validity and get interesting results.

Gary,
   This is pulled from a working s-parameter demo file I just used.  The
s-paramter file name and model name have been changed to protect the
innocent..

.model NAME s tstonefile=3D'FILENAME.s4p'
s1   txp rxp txn rxn  0 mname=3DNAME INTERPOLATION=3DSTEP

This was for a 4 port single ended representation a 2 port differential
model.  Ports txp and txn are inputs and rxp and rxn outputs.

Regards
-Ed
