You'll get a heap of answers to this all telling you that the culprit is
the Telstra Touchphone 200.  Disconnect the phone from the wall socket next
time you want to use the modem and prove this to be the case.

Having proved that the modem is the cause go back to your local Telstra
business office and nicely tell them the problem and ask them to replace
the phone with one that doesn't cause this problem.  It is a well known
problem and they should replace your current phone with a newer version.
