HP Officejet 6310 - Case G: Fax line shared with computer dial-up modem (no voice calls received)

Since your computer dial-up modem shares the phone line with the HP All-in-One,
you will not be able to use both your modem and the HP All-in-One simultaneously.
For example, you cannot use the HP All-in-One for faxing if you are using your
computer dial-up modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.
