Right, here goes with an explanation.

I have a master socket coming into my flat. From that I have two phone leads,
one coming to my bedroom and the other to my work area. They are plugged 
into the master socket via a Y-adaptor. The phone in my bedroom won't ring
(it is one of those cheapie China phones).

My work area ends in a 4-way adaptor. The ID caller comes off this and then
on to my phone (an Amstrad phone) which does ring. Another lead heads off
from the adaptor to my voice faxmodem. All work and all give dial tones.
When I plug the Amstrad phone into the back of the modem it will not ring
(it used to ring in my old flat). 

BT tested my line I said that there were sufficient RENs, so that should
be okay. Of course I wouldn't use a non-BABT modem, but if one did would
this have an effect? Even when that modem has a CCIT (ie non-US) setting?

I'm as confused as I ever was over this!!

Regards,
          George.
