Receiving calls while on the internet.

I had at one time configured my telephone to ring while I was on the internet so that I could would not miss any calls while using the internet.

I have a telephone with two connections one for a modem and the other for the telephone.

I am currently in the process of switching to broadband but in the meantime I would like to clear this up.

I don't think my question was clear.

All I have ever had is the phone with a modem line in and phone line out. My OS is Windows XP. Previously if I was on the internet and someone called me the phone would ring at which time I could either ignore the call and remain on the internet or disconnect from the internet and take the call. This no longer happens if someone calls the telephone no longer rings.

Could this have some thing to do with faxing over the internet options ????

I stand corrected I have just discovered that I did in fact have internet Fax software installed which caused the ring.

Thank you all for assistance.
