Default Maybe OT modem question.

I have a dual core XP machine and my dial up connection stopped
working. I have tried 3 different Win Modems. The modems install OK
and the diagnostics say it is connecting OK but when I try dialing
out, I get the message that there is no dial tone. That phone wire
works in a phone (same wire that plugs into the modem) I can also plug
a phone into the other port on the modem and dial out through it. I
tried swapping ports to be sure it wasn't just labeled wrong.
There is no activity on the line when I listen from another phone.
Any ideas?
