This is the reply from USR support:

Note to owners of European modems:

Modems with a serial number starting with a different number that 00 or 98 
can not be upgraded to V.34+.
     
Ex: 00083900 or 980840 can do it, 10083900 cannot.
     
There won't be any chip upgrade proposed for other plateforms.
