Where did you get the cable that plugs into the line socket from ? Did it
come with the modem ?

The reason I ask is that there are usually two types of lead available. One
is used with "US" style modems and the other with older "UK" specials - all
USRs for example.

If you are using a cable that came from another modem then this may not
work.
