Yes!

The _ONLY_ way to upgrade a courier V.32 modem to the new V.34 model
is to either order a replacement daughterboard, or to swap the modem
entirely.

Lemme say this again:

***  YOU CAN'T UPGRADE A V.32 USR TO A V.34 WITH THE FLASHROM SOFTWARE

It won't work!  The hardware to write the flashrom to is NOT present
in the V.32 model.  The "V.34 READY" sticker only means that it is
compatible with the V.34 daughterboard.
