Hmmm - have youi compared the color coding of the jacks? some cables have the RTS pins crossed for direct pc to pc connections so hold the 4 cable ends up to the light at the same orientation just to check to make sure that each end has the same color sequence as the others. Test the cable on your phone - heck test you phone cable on your modem.

My old one had only two pins on the modem side and phone side, red and then green at the modem end. the new modem had four meta bits on both sides.
