I've been through several different versions of this one before
dropping the old modem in the bin and going over to ISDN2e with SuSE
6.4 from home.

One of them is......   has the BT system mysteriously enabled a
feature like call forwarding or it's own built in answering machine ?
Also, I did have two modems that failed in just this way.  They did
look as if they were still working but closer examination proved
there were messed up :(

Try a few terninal window modem tests ?  Man WVdial ?  See the WVdial
site for more info ?
