    Just to follow up....

    Tested the line with a landline phone and as expected no tone. However, mystery deepens... when I tried the landline in the master socket and no tone either!  :open_mouth:

    So either the phone is a dud or there is some oddity with the connection!
    Do you pay for a phone line or DV service, if not could explain why no dial tone can be heard.

    I thought as broadband is FTTC, line rental is included anyway but you may have hit the nail re DV.

    I need to find the DV adapter thing - would a dial tone be expected?

    Judging by the state of wiring I would think semaphore could be expected.
