You need to tell us a bit more about your system. What OS are you using, and what do you have running the in the background - Outlook or Outlook Express, Fax software, anything else that may be relevant... any server software?

It sounds to me like you have something like Outlook set to answer for faxes, which can be turned off... but tell us a bit more so we can narrow down the options.

Its strange that this should happen to you now. It happened to me on Wednesday too. Deja vu man.

You fax software is set to pick up the phone after two rings. Go to Start / All programs / Accessories / Communications / Fax / Fax console / Tools / Configure fax, then go through the wizard. On the third page, uncheck 'Enable recieve.'

Problem solved.

Cheers.
