Since your full description indicates that the phones are getting damaged
and you have static when the phone is connected to your PC's modem for a
while, I would suspect a grounding problem.

I would first make sure that your computer's wall power jack has a good
third prong ground and that the connecting power cable has good connection
for the grounding wire. "Static" charges can build up on the modem phone
jack and could be responsible for zapping your phones.

Good luck in your search.
