Unplug all your phones and systematically swap them out.
You know the jack at the modem works. So plug each phone in there and see if you have a problem on any of the actual phones. Then take the phone that is currently plugged in at the modem ( which you know works) and test it in each jack to see if you have a jack problem.
I'm betting it's one of the phones.
