SUB: XE 300 MODEM

Well- I have this 300 Baud modem (I don't know why) and I haven't used it
for a while. Tonight I booted up my XE-TERM and when I tried to dial, I 
got nothing, or rather a buzz. When I tried to use the voice phone, I heard
something unlike a normal dial tone AND our line was busy while the modem
was hooked up, even though it wasn't on-line. 
	The first thing I thought of was a short so I checked resistance on
the four conductor input of the phone line and found nothing peculiar. 
Does any body else have any ideas.
