It needs to be stopped at the other end. It sounds like either
(a) someone is using dial-up internet at your house when you pick up the phone
(b) someone is trying to send a fax to you
Sounds more like (b) than (a). I don't know of anything you can do at your end. Just change your fax number to the correct one if you have one posted(ie. business cards), or let people know about your new fax number or lack of one.

use caller id to identify the number, then use call block to send a busy signal whenever that number tries to dial yours.

Put a call in to the Do-Not-Call Registry and register your phone number.

There are devices like the telezapper that automatically detects if a call was sent by a machine, and will block the call for you.
