:
:      IF your system hangs while running VP/ix to the point where no

:      multiscreens, bring up vpix menu, etc.)

The standard recommendation in this case is to log in to a serial
terminal (as root) and di a kill -1 on the vpix process.  If you
can log in from a serial port, this almost always works.
