Internal Modem Problem - NO DIALTONE (analogue problem?)

I  have  an odd problem with an Internal V34 fax  modem,  a  half 
length, V1428VQH dynalink I think.

The  modem  is recognized by the PC in DOS, and  responds  to  AT 
commands  with OK and passes diagnostics. The problem is that  it 
never picks up the line and always responds with NO DIALTONE.

I've swapped leads and suspect a problem in the analogue side  of 
the board, maybe a relay? 

Anyone  prepared to have a look at the thing for me,  or  suggest 
what it might be? I can't afford to get it repaird, these tyhings 
too cheap for the labour costs these days - but it seems a  shame 
to junk it when all the digital side passes OK. Will pay  postage
costs of course.
