Here's how you do it in W98SE, maybe you can extrapolate for XP......

Go to DialUpNetworking\(right mouse your ISP icon)\Properties\Configure(the
modem)\Connection\Advanced and in the 'Extra Settings' box, type W2 - this
causes the connection speed to be reported and not the port speed.  You can
also add m0 (that's em zero) which will mute the modem squawks.

I use both, so my settings read W2m0
