This may or may not be useful in the context of the above, but BT have a line 
test menu, accessible by dialling 17070.  It includes things like 'quiet 
line' (silence) and 'ringback' (the exchange rings you back automatically).  It's 
great for checking that  internal extensions are wired correctly for ring 
capability.  There maybe some other useful functions also.
