Answer 5

you have to disconnect all the wires and wait for like ten minutes, then you have to connect it all up again

and then switch on the mains.

But make sure that you have actually run the software CD
and your phone is actually working

if all fails, admit you have to read the manual

Answer 8

It's not turned on?

The phone line is dead?
It's submerged in water? (Ok, not so likely)
It's not a modem after all, but is in fact a killer mongoose? (Even less likely)
