If these lines are coming off of a PBX, then the PBX could be doing 
it.  You've said that these lines do work simultaneously with another 
set of equipment, though, so maybe that's of no help to you.

If it's the same modem getting dialtone each time, then make sure that 
each other modem configuration file has the correct settings to 
actually get a dialtone (like "ModemDialCmd:  ATDT9,%s" if you have to 
dial 9 to get a tone).
