Hearing fax/modem rumbling when I answer a phone telephone call?

Whenever my phone rings and I'm receiving a send for, after I pick it up and say Hello, both the tourist and I can hear a loud fax or modem noise. It's so loud I own to yell "I'll christen you back!!" and consequently whenever I call *them* the hubbub never happens. Yes, I am using a dialup nouns right now for internet, but this markedly happens when nobody is using the computer. It's as if the modem hear the phone ringing and decides to answer it itself. The modem is installed correctly and the drivers are updated. I've never notice a lot of phone file noise when discussion on the phone. This is the same modem I used a few years ago when I have dialup and this never happened. I'm using it temporarily right in a minute while my dsl is out. Now it does it every day and it never happen before. What could be cause this?!


Answers:    You have something call a telephone introduce yourself interface device (NID) outside of your home or in your crypt (usually w. utility meters.) There is a test jack inside of this box. If you plug a phone surrounded by this box and there trouble happen there, that mode its a problem within the phone lines. Usually the phone CO will fix it free of charge. If you hear no trouble at the NID, after the trouble is in the inside. If you do not get the inside wire contract next to the phone co. they bill bill you for inside troubles. Verizon charges 91$ first 30 minutes and 46$ each new 30 mins plus the cost of materials. Hope it helps!
What happen if you don't pick-up the phone when it rings? (ask your friend to make a try-out call)
Does the computer modem still pick it up? (even if you don't - or does it only pick-up when you pickup?)
Does it other pick up after a set number of rings?

Other than your modem being defective and somehow man triggered by a ring-voltage on line, after all signs point to Fax software on PC cause it to pick-up calls.

Many population aren't aware that Windows XP has built-in Fax expertise. It is possible your Windows XP fax software is triggering on incoming calls.
Check its settings:
Start-->Programs-->Accessories-->
-->Communications-->FAX-->Fax Console
Then, surrounded by Fax Console window, Check settings:
Tools-->Configure Fax (config wizard setup).
Make sure Send and Receive Faxes is "Disabled".

If this is not the do of pick-ups, then merely disconnect phone line from PC when not using for Internet browsing. Then, here is no way PC can interfere next to incoming phone calls. Reconnect smudge to PC only when you want to surf.
