no dial tone on handset. Anyone can help me? Thanks

New or used?

Have you contacted Brother?

If you followed installation instructions (and this unit is supposed
to run under your OS) and still get no dial tone, the unit is defective
and should be returned.

Talk with brother.

I've found that many Fax units use the outer pairs rather than the
inner ones. This is the standard for two phone lines and one jack.
Those that do often supply a cable that routes 1&2 to 3&4, and as such
direction of the cable matters. IIRC my HP psc 950 was this way.

I believe this is also the case when your have DSL service. The DSL
'end-terminal"' modem seems to use the different pair of wires than
the standard analog signals that all land-line home phone use. The
analog singals arfe also required for fax units.
