No.
Remove other devices from the line. Have the line checked for obvious
faults. Distance from the CO could be a factor.
As a test, connect the modem to your "fax" line and disconnect
everything else from it. That should give you an idea if you have any
chance of getting it to work.
***** Moderator's Note *****
Since you're able to see the caller ID when you call the line from
another telephone number in your home, you should check to see what
the _calling_ phone is changing when it's off hook (I'm assuming that
it's a two-line phone). In other words, it might be a problem with the
ringer and/or other parts of the _calling_ phone that aren't in the
circuit when it's off hook.
