I don't know about the Message Plus, I have a "plain" sportster but I'm 
experiencing the same problem since the flash upgrade to V90.
By studying the log it turns out that it's not a vgetty problem, it's probably 
the new firmware that recognizes some voices as a dial tone, and notifies 
accordingly vgetty which promptly hangs up the line. In fact if *I* call in, 
my message will be recorded completely, if my wife calls or a (female) friend 
of her, the message is interrupted as soon as she starts speaking.
Gert, could you expose this problem to your contact at 3com/USR? Maybe the 
next "firmware du jour" will solve this bug, and introduce 3 new ones :-/

Bye
