Firmware update for USB modem

[balanga]

How do I find the firmware version of a USB modem, and how would I update it if necessary?

I'm presuming I can do this from FreeBSD....

Read the modem's manual? That's assuming you can update it in the first place.

Go to the modem manuf. web site. they should have any/all updates available there

I kind of assumed that I could read the revision level directly, maybe via some AT command.

I'm sure Windows is able to get such information.

Ever tried it with a Huawei modem? There seem to be 1000's of them and what it says on the outside label does not necessarily concur with what you really have.
