You dont need special drivers for your modem under XP. If I'm not mistaken, the 2500 series uses a Rockwell chipset and detected as Lucent Win Modem. XP should have no problems in detecting it..

Like I said, you dont need a driver for win xp. So I seriously doubt that the compaq site would have it...
