Again:

V.42 (or V.42bis) has nothing to do with V.32, which is an actual modulation
scheme (modem protocol/standard/callitwhateveryoulike).

V.32 comes only in USR models Courier V.32 and Dual Standard (the latter
holds both HST and V.32 as you probably already know).

V.42 is an error correcting protocol, and V.42bis a data compression
algorithm which is to be ran on top of the V.42. All the new USR high speed
modems (HST, V.32, HST Dual Standard) now come with V.42 and V.42bis.
