Filtering I suspect. Make sure EVERY phone and fax that shares the telephone line is behind a filter such as this inline one:

Make sure the ADSL modem is NOT behind a filter, or if it is a POTS or ADSL splitter the ADSL modem needs to be plugged into the Modem side. Make sure your cordless phones, basestations, microwave ovens etc. are at least 6 feet away from the ADSL modem.

I hope that helps.
