Unhappy ambit modem registration problem

Hello,
I have got 2 modems (Ambit 250/255), without usb. When I try to connect them to vm cable line, I get the following message:
'we need to register your modem, before you can start using the internet.'
I think they have been bricked. I want to install firmware in both of them, in order to make them usable. But I think I can't flash them without using max232 cable. It would be great, if you can guide me in the following things:
1- Do I need to remove any IC or TSOP from my modems?
2- Where can I get max232 cable or any other, which works with vm255 modem, and a connection diagram as well?
3- Haynes website has got some problems? Where can I get Haynes manuals and infinite firmware?
Any helps are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Exclamation Re: ambit modem registration problem

Thanks
but, what will happen, if the modem is not protected, will it be bricked, or will they approach me, as why am I connecting that modem.
Also, what do you mean by 'p'?
I think, I don't need to take out the IC and put into programmer, because max232 cable can do the programming via serial port!
But the problem is, that where can I get the ready to use cable and software?
Anybody knows?,
Please help
Thanks in advance.

But, I doubt, that these files are not applicable to my modem, because, these files are for ambit 200/250 modem. Whereas, my modem is vm255

Would be great, if you clear my doubt,

Thanks in advance
