Hi gals / guys

I have just assembled a new system and after doing that I am having problem with the Modem.... its not working at all... although the driver is Ok..... Now ths strange thing happening is that as soon as i Insert the telephone line in it all the parallel lines get dead as there is no dialtone..... Just like wires get short of thing.....

OS: windows XP
Board: Intel 101GGCL
Processor: Intel 2.66ghz 1 MB cache

Everything else is working fine...... Although I have assembled a computer completly with bare hands for the first time...... Its not that difficult these days... :-)
