need a curve fitting package

Hi,

I'm looking for a curve-fitting package to do a specific
problem in chemical kinetics.  (Sorry for the long 
description)

The function to be fitted is 

I = exp(-kf1 * tf) * (kex/(kex + kf2)) *
    (1 - exp( -(kf2 + kex)* tex))

kex is a known constant.
I, tf, and tex are known variables.

I need to optimize values of kf1 and kf2 against
sets of several (I, tf, tex) values.

Does anyone know of a program that'll do this sort 
of fit? Nothing I have (facsimilie, Kalidegraph, 
Mathematica) can do it.  I'd prefer something for 
a Sun or Mac that I can get for free.

Thanks!
