Oh, come on!  Get a magnifycing glass, strong light, ohmmeter, and refer
to the audio+misc FAQ - modem problems.  There is likely something shorted,
open, or a bad relay on the phone line side of the coupling transformer (or
a bad transformer).  It just takes a little patience and determination!

   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.
