I had exactly this problem but with T. Winsock.  I was told by all and
sundry that it was my init.string causing the problem, but no end of
messing about with it did any good.

The solution turned out to lie in changing the 'bye command' in TW.  A
mate of mine had a different bye.cmd for TW and on substituting that
the thing hangs up perfectly.

My other problem is detailed in overenthusiatic Zoom Modem!  Any
ideas?!
