WINXP Home Ed. Recently installed new HP Photosmart printer and AOL dial-up
internet connection with just one telephone line modem.
Since then I am having a problem with incoming phone calls schreeching
interference that sounds like a fax machine even though I am not on the
internet.
QWest repair came today and told me that a fax machine is answering my
incoming calls so it is not a phone problem but instead a fax software
problem. I do not have a fax machine so never set up fax software. He also
advised that I would have to unplug my computer wall connection to receive
incoming calls. I've never had to do this in all these many years.
This has been so frustrating since there was a death in the family and I was
not able to get the incoming calls so was notified by e-mail.
Pls help this 80-yr-old in great grandmother language!
