Your modem is designed that way. It cannot distinguish between a real
caller and a fax machine when the phone rings. If it rings, it will do its
job and take the call.
You probably want to look at
a) getting a separate dedicated line for fax
or
b) getting something like Catch a Call (www.catchacall.com) which will sit
between phone socket and hardware (phone and fax) and send each to the right
destination
