I bought my USR Courier about 15 years ago.  It started life at 14.4K
and was then upgraded to V.42 56K.  It's flashable.  I recall
downloading and installing the various "almost" V.42 updates.  I also
received a free upgrade daughter board.  I still have that modem
connected to my computer, but rarely use it these days.

p.s I bought that modem from Canada Remote Systems (anyone remember
them?), for a few hundred $.
