I don't know if this will help but here is a previous post in
comp.dcom.modems:

You will of course have to investigate the legality of the
aforementioned procedure for yourself. The statement "a firmware made
by Russian people and based on 13/03/98, v90 firmware" suggests that
the firmware was possibly independently developed.

As a safeguard may I suggest that you remove your modem's flash memory
IC (if it is socketed) and have it backed up to a disc file by a local
electronics shop. This is to allow you to return to the original code
in the event of problems. Such a service should cost $5 (at least
that's what I charge here in Australia).
