Why are you wasting time, or is your 'friend' not sure what line the
service is going to be supplied over ????

Broadband will be supplied over one line & number so 'trying another line'
with a completely different number is, as I have already said, a complete
& utter waste of time.

Find your 'friends' NTTP which will have been fitted before the switch &
start from there, not on the extensions as DSL will not work thru a PBX as
has already been stated. The reason it makes the phone go dead is because
it is a system phone & so does not work on the same pin out as a normal
phone, here again has already been stated.

If you do get to the bottom of this do not be suprised if the service has
not been provided at all due to the fact that BT does not normally provide
DSL over multi line hunt groups (PBX, Featurenet or feature line). I
won't say never as there was a few which have slipped thru, this is more
likely to get caught nowadays though.

Thank you for your input, but as Graham already suggested we shall have to
find his incoming line and take it from the Network Test and Termination
Point. All I hoped to get was a Dial tone from his separate Fax line his
modem might have detected, but that wasn't to be. Personally, I do not want
to open his box PBX or other boxes of tricks or anything associated to BT
wiring, 'cause if things don't work afterwards( it's an old system), I do
not wish to carry the can.
So, I am now looking for a telecom engineer to get into his Cat's Cradle and
get an ADSL signal to his modem and get me off the hook.
I assumed (wrongly) that after he had a Dial-up link with Talk-talk it would
be a simple matter of changing to B/B Tiscali by just plugging his new modem
into his extension socket and running the installation CD, because that is
all I had to do to get my BT Broad band up and running, very nicely too.
