Looks like you need to extract the file somehow, then use the serial
interface to upload the new code.  The command appears to be `set download
code', and it needs to be sent via the XModem protocol, so minicom or
another terminal emulation program is required.

They have some stuff on the page for a `Commander Software installation' 
Not sure what that is, if you need it, etc.

Again, I don't have a DSL connection, so read the page yourself, and take
any advice from me only after going to a rural grocery and picking up a
large salt lick.
