Modem causing noise on phone line

I installed a new modem, and plugged in the line-in phone wire and a telephone handset. If you pick up the handset there is a loud annoying humming noise. This happens whether the computer is on or off.

I tried it in two different PCI slots with the same results. I installed the drivers and still the same.

I tried the same modem in a different computer. It works fine.

Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this?

it almost sounds like the polarity of your wall outlet is wrong. But this is a problem from many years ago. do you get a hum of anykind out of your computer speakers?
