After doing a little more research, I found I'm only partially right.  It
seems that there are 2 conditions in which the DSL line comes up:

1) Leaving the phone off the hook and waiting until the "If you want to
   make a call..."  Once the "If you want to make a call..." is spoken and
   until the beep-beep-beep terminates, the DSL internet connection will
   remain up.  Within a few seconds after the beep-beep-beep stops, the
   DSL disconnects.
2) Making a phone call will always guarantee that the DSL internet will
   connect.
