I doubt it. Most companies would probably rather you buy a new modem than give you a free upgrade. Why do you need it? Very very few ISP's support V.92 right now. My ISP has a few V.92 access numbers. I tried one for a while and I noticed absolutely no difference. BTW, most of the V.92 modems I have used have not worked very well.

If it's a Lucent WinModem, all you'll need is upgraded drivers. I was able to upgrade my mini-PCI V.90 modem to V.92 with the Agere's 8.18 modem drivers.
