Depending on how the non-ATT phones are put together, iut sounds like your
line polarity may have been reversed.  Flipping the line pair where it
comes into your home should do the trick.

NY Telephone did the same to me a few months back; I knew what had happened
but wanted to see what NYT would make of it.  The lineman only tested my line
with a rotary test set (why, I dunno...) and they subsequently tried to bill
me for a needless service call.  If that is the problem, it'll be a lot easier
to just fix it yourself.
