HP drivers won't matter unless the machine is still in a "factory state". If different hardware has been added you will need the drivers for that hardware.
Download, install, and run Everest Home Edition on this machine. (Clean FreeWare) Once it's finished loading, run a report, hardware related, HTML format. Post the information here for the hardware that you can't find drivers for.
It's a good day when you learn something

There are various ways forward.
Probably the best bet is to get the Everest download file on some other machine, burn it to a CD-R (finalised) then install it onto your W98 via the CD drive.
Alternatively it's a matter of identifying the modem by opening the case and Googling for the drivers. Once you are online with W98 you can get Everest to determine the rest.
