Why without a fax machine on my computer do people get busy signals when calling my phone?
I do not have a fax machine on my computer,. I have 2 phone jacks in my home. One for my computer the other for my land phone. Recently when people try to call my phone it will ring twice then go to a weird busy signal . I’ve found that when I unplug my computer from its phone jack, then someone can call my phone like normal. What could be the trouble?

Your computer modem is answering the call. You can change the number of rings before answering in the modem setup menu in order to give you more time to answer.
