A standard dialup BBS is entirely separate from the Internet. Ones you dial up to with a terminal emulation program don't even use TCP/IP at all. I remember back in the good ol' days of the 80's, connecting to BBSes with my Atari :) Ahhh, those were the days. 300 baud, 40 columns, black and white. Anyone remember Tradewars 2002? ;) It seems to be a fairly common failure in modems for them to lose the ability to sense dialtone. One thing you can try is in the Modem control panel, setting it to ignore dialtone. Other than that, make sure it's plugged in firmly and try manually dialing something to see if you can hear it.
