I installed Windows XP RC-1 last week. I had absolutely no problem installing my modem; I used the WIN2K modem driver I used while I was running WIN2K. XP also had no problem finding any of my system's other drivers, either, even for some legacy devices.

I also did a lot of research at the HCL site for my PC before I did the upgrade, because I still use some legacy products, and MS recommends going directly to the modem's manufacturer to obtain the correct XP (usually WIN2K) driver(s) if XP can't supply them.

It's difficult to answer this question with confidence, because Windows XP RC-1 is so new and there's officialy no tech support for it.

Here's a link to the WINXP newsgroup site. This is where folks exchange undocumented XP information. I recieved good results from another XP RC-1 user after I got a bad burn of the RC1 .ISO file. You might want to ask your question there, as well. Here's the link:
