Try:
ps -t ttywhatever
[get the pid of the 'vpix' process]
kill -1 vpixpid
kill -1 pid usually does the trick for killing a vpix process. However, I'm
not sure that that will unfreeze the console. Others have suggested (SCO
included) that you unplug the keyboard for a second and then plug it back.
Sounds a bit fishy to me. Perhaps this problem has been lessened in the
newest release of VP/ix, version 1.2. It has lots of other nifty features
as well which may make it worth the price of admission.
