You don't need (or want) new firmware.
All you need is the specific drivers for the OS's it's going to be used on.
It plugs into a standard Serial port, usually com 2, on (just about) any PC, so as long as the serial port is working, and you have the right driver, windows will detect it (turn the modem on BEFORE you start the computer), and ask for the driver. Full instructions are included with the driver.
