Okay - fax settings - do they really exist?

[Guest]

Needless to say - I can't find em'. Nor can my lil' Search Wizard. He
probably thinks, justifyably so, I'm an idiot. My problem is that, #1. I
don't even want, own, or secret a fax. #2. Anytime that I am on my PC I am
not able to receive any personal phone calls. The PC or the modem interprets
all calls as a incoming fax. Family & friends have stopped calling, by
request, until I can figure out what-tha... has happened!
I have had Caller ID and Call Waiting features recently added to my phone
service and accordingly I edited the IE dialing rules to block the Caller ID
feature for when I actually do go on line.
So, if there is a way to locate these settings to correct or at least
eliminate the settings as the cause - I'm all ears!
I just know it is going to be embarrassing learning the answer.
