It's not completely clear from your description whether you have a 
PABX in the chain? If you do, I would suspect the wiring of the 
extension socket. The extension socket to the modem should be a 
master socket, with a ringing capacitor, not a slave socket, and it's 
possible that the original socket has gone defective. The fact that 
one modem answers and the other does not when using the same socket 
does not necessarily indicate that the socket is ok, since there are 
two ways of detecting ringing from an electrical point of view with a 
UK socket.
