Bit confused here, Dave....

*If* you are on-line with your modem you cannot receive an incoming
ansaphone call, nor can you receive a fax (number engaged)

*If* you are off-line with your modem your ansaphone should work or your
computer accept a fax (if configured properly)

*If* you are powered down on your computer your ansaphone should work
but you cannot receive faxes.

My experience is with a dedicated line, split to provide a modem feed
plus a feed to a separate "intelligent" ansaphone/fax machine - this
works perfectly adequately, as incoming faxes are received hard copy and
I can use my conmputer to generate outgoing faxes (MSWord/Winfax).
