[comp.dcom.modems] Upgrade policies

Question:  What's the best V.32 modem to buy right now to maximize
one's chances of being to upgrade to V.32bis?  I suspect that real
"modem" companies like Hayes and Telebit would be more likely to
offer upgrades than companies which just throw chipsets together,
but I understand that some modems even from these companies just don't 
have the horsepower to do V.32bis.  Do any companies make a practice
of offering upgrades to modems which are totally different on the hardware 
level than their replacements?

Thanks in advance,
