Patrick,

Thanks for the info,

I'm not using a pbx, so its a straight connection to my modem. 
The
capacitor issue had occurred to me as I am in Ireland, and the only
difference between us and the uk is that we effectivly use slave sockets
on
all phone points, and the ringing capacitor is normally in the phone. If
you
buy a UK phone for use over here, you need an adapter which converts
the
socket type, and also has a ringing capacitor in it. I recently did a
fair
bit opf rewiring and coudl not remember wether or not I had previously
used
on of these adaptors on my modem connection, so I put it in line to see
if
that was the problem, but got the same result.

    The only other issue which dawned on me is something
with my pc
settings. I have trhee PCI cards. Two of them are modems, and the other
is
an additional two serial com ports. If I go to my modem settings it
shows
that I have 11 com ports ?
