The test that I like to use for crosstalk is to call our local 1Khz test tone number and see if it bleeds through any line.

When you had no dial tone at the demarc and then had it when you reset the system, that suggests the line had timed out / went out of service at the CO. When you released it, it came back into service. Depending on the CO, that can take a few minutes.
