The first issue sounds as if the modem on your end is not getting a modem answer on the remote end.

Your second question is part of the first problem. Remote Desktop needs to be enabled on the remote machine, and you need to ahead of time have made yourself a valid user with a password on the remote machine, and included that username and password as an authorized user. Although your sequence would could also simply indicate the machine is not turned on.

When everything works correctly the remote desktop will come up, with a possible warning if the remote machine is being used actively.

Fixed
The problem was in the FAX setup onthe remote computer.
It was answering before the remote desktop.
Go to Printers / Fax right click properties and untick
receive. or control panel /admin Tools /services and set
Fax to manual and remote to auto.
