MASM and TASM aren't very good are allowing FAR jumps.  The following
code is used in the BIOS where I work (HP) try it.  (I know it's a hack,
but it does work!

d	SEGMENT at 0h
lab     dw    ?
d       ENDS

    .....
;   Somewhare in your code
;   JMP FAR lab
    DB    0EAh
    DW    OFFSET lab
    DW    SEG d
