Gleb,
Have you got the correct cable?? the US modems are wired differently
to the UK ones, try looking at the following sites:
http://home.worldonline.dk/~andersa/technotravel/usinuk.htm
and
http://www.gbnet.net/net/uk-telecom/p3-1.html#6
The usual symptom of a wrong cable is no dialtone, the usual US to UK
wiring is 3&4 on the RJ11 plug to 2&5 on the BT plug.
I hope this may be of some help.
Ben.
