Im pretty sure that xmodem isn't available for the 2500's
According to the Cisco documentation:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/130/xmodem_generic.html

Cisco 827, 1600, 1700, 2600, 3600, and 3700 Series Routers
Cisco AS5200, AS5300, AS5350, and AS5400 Universal Access Servers

Are the available routers!

They talk about copying an image from CDRom, but your communication software usually prompts you for the location of the file to transfer.

Or if you already have a working network configuration on the router, you can use rommon and the boot image to TFTP a new IOS

It sounds like you are in the bootstrap program, and not rommon.
