Sounds like, there is no power brakes if the hose is not connected to the brake booster. There should be a massive vaccuum leak in the engine. The brake booster vaccuum line is a major vaccuum. You should hear a hissing sound when engine is running. Find the hissing noise and replace as nessessary.

I would check the medium sized rubber hose that goes to the brake booster from the inlet manifold as it can swell internally and prevent vacuum getting to the power booster. Replace if necessary. I would also check all those pesky little rubber vacuum hoses that are used for pollution control. They tend to go hard and split where they connect to the metal piping if they are over 10 years old, allowing air / vacuum leaks into the inlet manifold. It could also mean that the rubber diaphragm inside the brake booster has developed a leak and causing loss of power assistance.
