testing as you have done is a way of finding problems that may occur if
you had all appliances off hook at same time. tho i would doubt that you
would when you are using computer and modem.
a problem that can arise and cause a modem to drop off from line noise
is 'total line resistance'. this resistance builds by each connection,
as well as total line length.
i would suggest that you might try making your computer's telephone line
a direct line. ie, use one unbroken line from telco service entry directly
to modem.
i am very surprised that your telco did not make such a suggestion, instead
of saying that you have too many appliances connected.

peace out.
