Straight from the Hayes Web site:

--Begin quotation
And remember, we'll take any modem at any speed from any
manufacturer and let you trade up to a Hayes 56K modem for only $99!
Users who purchase new Hayes ACCURA 336 and OPTIMA 336
products between Feb. 1, 1997 and April 15, 1997 will receive a free
upgrade. Visit our 56K Upgrade page for complete details.
--End quotation

So technically, you should be able to trade your modem, but not upgrade
it. Try it... it might be entertaining just to hear then when you ask
them. :)
