the programmer u need is an Willem 4.5 Programmer (EBAY)..

and has for the Modem (EBAY)...

U can either use the Ambit 200, 250, 255..

Not Sure if Earlier Versions of Ambit's Will be able to cope With 20megs??

Yep u will Need an Max232 Cable as well...

But the Cheapest way round it is buy an Modem off Ebay, but ask em first if it has took the firmware or not?? If not most people sell em cause they have had em for ages and never plugged em in or moving away from a cabled area... U will only need the Programmer if u have a Bricked Box to reflash the chip, then once reflashed connect the Max232 cable to it write the firmware to it, then use AMBIT TOOL to set all rest off settings IE: mac, tftp, configs etc??
