I am facing this problem from last 1 week. My phone line is working fine. The SNR Ratio is also good but when I try to connect it says ' Your phone line is busy' and start redialing.
Also sometime the internet light in my modem keeps on continuosly(i.e. no blinking).
I got the line checked from the exchange also but they say there is no problem from their side.
Kindly tell me solution.

Could be your modem has gone bad. Did you have thunderstorms with a lot of heavy lightning strikes? Are you on dial-up or broadband? Can you borrow another modem you can test with?

Well I tried connecting with other modem ( Siemens C2110) and it connected on the first click. So I guess my modem is gone :(.
Anyone knows if BSNL will repair or change my modem ( Siemens SL2_141). Also whether I can use any other modem ( not given by BSNL like beetel given by Airtel Broadband or any other).
Plzz help me guys.

Those settings are like the BIOS settings of your motherboard. They can get corrupted for one reason or another. Another way to correct it is to do a master rest - again very similar to clearing the motherboard BIOS settings.
