I have been advised to look at http://cvstrac.pfsense.com/chngview? 
cn=4643
But, I am not using pfSense. Just 6.0 release.

I have also looked at http://www.znyx.com/support/drivers/ 
ZX412_drivers.htm

But these drivers don't work for me. If they can be made to work,  
could they be built into the next release or adapt the existing drivers?

Typically, I would say why bother with such old equipment but there  
are a lot of companies trying to breath new life into these old  
firewalls.
