I have an internal V34 half slot modem which is reporting "No Dial Tone" when
I try dialing out. It only allows X1, X2 X3 and X4, and only X2 and X4 sense
dial tone. When set to X1 and X3 it tone dials OK, but there is no dialtone.

I've checked the cable by plugging a phone into the socket on the modem marked 
PHONE and I can hear the line pulsed as the modem starts to dial but that's
all. I've run internal diagnostics on the modem and the terminal <--> modem
checks out fine. I get an OK from ATZ and there's no problem doing an AT&F.
I've tried it in several diferent slots too.

I've tried cleaning the pins inside the socket......anyone got any suggstions
where to look next?
