In desperation the installer took the control pc to his home and connected into his fax line. Lo and behold everything worked as it should . Significantly his fax line does not have DSL. Hence we are coming to the conclusion that the DSL or possibly the DSLAM at the exchange end is somehow affecting the modem comms. I seem to recall that some utility companies experienced similar connection problems a few years ago. Apparently National Grid, water companies etc use dial link into sub stations, pumping stations etc.
Any straws will be clutched.

If so have you tried changing the filter? Some filters are better than others and it may be that a cheap
and cheerful one is doing a bad job of high frequency filtering and not allowing your modem to work
at 56kbps or so...
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

There should be no reason why it shouldn't work. I have a fax machine on my line and I can use the fax and the ADSL simultaneously.

My end does have ADSL and that is where the control PC is situated.
Filters serve the purpose of splitting out the high frequency DSL carrier from the low frequency 'voice' signal. A filter must be used on an ADSL enabled line if phones, modems (including sky boxes) or faxes are to be connected as well. If one of these is connected without a filter it will kill the DSL carrier however if no phones etc are connected no filter is needed. This is one of the tests you do to determine ADSL faults.
Finally phones etc work just fine without a filter on a DSL enabled line but of course the broadband does not.
If we cannot get this system to work 'as is' the only alternatives seem to be for me to get a second non DSL line which is expensive or to install ADSL at the hall end which again is expensive especially as we would need a static IP address. The advantage of that is greater flexibility though.

Quote from: Merlin we would need a static IP address.
Incorrect.
Dynamic DNS will sort you out.
