No ring signal

A couple of years ago, there was a thread - raised by Andrew Gabriel, I think - about a line with no ring signal.Does anyone know how it got resolved, because I have exactly the same symptoms at my holiday flat.I thought I had a problem before I came here because, when I tried to access my answer machine remotely, it just 'rang' without answering.Now I'm here, I can confirm that it doesn't ring at all - although the caller hears ring tone.If I do a ringback test, the phone detects that a call is coming in - and displays caller ID - but no ring. I've tried several phones - including one which tests ok on a neighbour's line - and none rings, even when plugged into the test socket on the master with nothing else connected.I can make outgoing calls, and there's no noise on the line. ADSL on the line works perfectly - it's just ring that's missing.I've reported it to BT, whose automated test doesn't show a fault. They could send an engineer, but that comes with warnings of a £99 charge if it turns out to be anything at my end.I don't see how it *can* be anything that's my responsibility. Am I missing anything?

I used to have one, but I don't know what it was now. There appear to be a few usb modems about that probably work. If I were doing it I would see if I can get the CLI out of my brother AIO over the network. It runs linux so it may well be possible.
