I have a friends 166 Pentium on a Rhino MB with 48M ram running Windows95.
It had a generic PCI modem in it and I have tried a Hayes Accura modem in it also.
It is using a dial up connection to a local ISP.The modem connects to the isp fine and when you click the icon to disconnect it disconnects from the isp fine but 
it will not disconnect from the phone line.If you physically unplug the line from the modem and plug it back in you can get a dial tone but it will not break the connection on its own.I have tried this on different phone lines,with different cords and with two modems in this computer.I thought it might be somekind of software conflict between dialers so I formatted the harddrive and tried it with a fresh Windows install.Same problem.Any ideas are very much appreciated.
