Don't I know this? :-)
Haven't I got a 486DX33 too and a modem which does or does not hang up at
the end of voice recording?

I've been fighting against this for weeks.

I have tried to replace the "!" for ending recording with "!!!!!!!" or
with a crude '!' (without CR), and often it works, but sometimes not. 
I think, the magic "!" doesn't come through for some strange reason. We
have to PUSH it through the wire, but I don't know the secrets of
programming the serial interface/FIFO, therefore I don't know how to. The
poor and lonely "!" has to fight against a flood of data which is
received, and we really should help him (or her).

Frank.
