It is almost impossible to say from here - so much that may go wrong, 
because there are so many different ways people are wiring their phones. In 
most cases just two wires are needed to transfer the signal. Sometimes four 
wires are used. Here in Germany you have many kinds of different jacks - 
many different sizes and forms, many different wirings. Connect the wrong 
jack to the wrong socket, and when you plug it in you got a busy signal on 
all lines.

Maybe the modem from E-Bay was just faulty from start - it happens.
