Your PC is probably set to automatically answer an incoming message
(fax) on the phone line.

Control Panel > Printers and Other Hardware > Phone and Modem Options.
Select Modems tab.
Click Properties, then select the Power Management tab.
UNcheck the box that says "Allow this device to bring the computer out
of standby."
OK your way out.
