i use standard dial-up to connect to internet. i have one phone line at home.
when i plug my desktop computer into wall jack - computer disconnected to
internet-incoming callers hear a fax signal. the phone company claims it is a
problem with computer. the ISP says the same thing. when i use my laptop to
the same connector, all is well. i don't have a fax modem in my desktop, only
a 56K modem and i have checked all ports and device settings. all are working
properly. i don't have a fax machine connected to this line. it seems that
there is a setting or something in the computer that i'm missing to turn off
this fax signal that picks up when there are incoming calls. any suggestions
would be appreciated. tia, ej.
