Fax picks up all calls

I am using the fax program that automatically comes with
the windows xp home edition. I have a seperate phone
number designated in the fax program (and of course in my
house) for the fax, but unfortunately, the fax picks up
whenever the phone rings, not just when the fax line
does. I have gone through my setup and cannot see why it
is doing this.
Any pointers?
 
You can't change that. Your settings have nothing to do with it.
Distinctive Ring is not supported by Windows XP. Therefore, Windows XP Fax
will answer every incoming call it receives. The alternative is to install
an external switching device to your phone line.
