Okay - I have some clues - it looks as though UK phones work differently to those of other parts of the world. I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone else on this. Broadly I think it IS down to wiring.
Port 0 on a 2FXS card is configured such that if an RJ11 is connected in with current on pins 2&5, it assumes that a two-line phone (which is common I gather in the US) is connected and disables port 1. UK phones normally use ports 2&5 for their tip and ring signals, using 3 to carry the ring current and 4 for earth. If 3&4 are the wrong way about the phone will ring continually - this is all theory I'm afraid until I check tomorrow, but I'm using normal adapters so I'd hope not to have to chop them up. Any comments?
