Assuming that you don't have a configuration problem, you might be faced
with a digital line.  We recently had our school's phone system switch over
to a new one and it was DIGITAL as opposed to analog.  I had to ask to have
a couple of lines switch back to analog so that I could use a modem on
them.
Hope this helps!
