Modem answers phone when people call....help. LOL
This is a discussion about Modem answers phone when people call....help. LOL in the Windows Hardware category; ok, when i get a call on my phone line, i'll answer it like normal, then my modem decides to pick up also and tries to communicate, so i run back to the computer, open up my DUN connection and click Connect and it stops.

I have no extra telephony software of anything installed...it just recently started doing this and its very annoying (except when telemarketers call. LOL). Thanks

I know that in W2K same thing happened after I enabled the fax server (service). Could that be it?
ATS0=0 (that's ats(zero)=(zero)) will turn off autoanswer.

i found out what it was, it was a problem with RRAS apparently, i tried and installed that app you suggested called Triangle Boy i think, after i uninstalled it the modem no longer kept answering the phone.
OP
yup, at this point and time a modem (56k) is my only means of net access.
