I know this may seem stupid, but try tesing the line with the second 
modem physically disconnected from the line. We spend a lot of time 
in our office daisy-chaining modems. We have occasionally noticed
cheaper modems causing noise on the line when they are turned OFF.

I don't know enough about the technology to say why this happens, but
it is easy enough to check out, why not give it a shot?
