i am looking for a program that will bring any process to the
foreground (ie. i/o from stdin/stdout) given the process's pid.
i heard there is a program called fg that does this but it is not
on this system so if you know where i can find this program please
mail me and tell me where (or another program that can do that for
that matter).  i am on a unix system at the local university and
have full net/ftp access.  thanx for your help

(this is the full description of what i want to do in case u need
to know:  i want to be able to telnet two or more sites and switch
between which one i type too..  i can run a telnet, escap to shell
and telnet somewhere else, but there is no way for me to switch back
to the first telnet program (if i escape from telnet #2 i will return
back to the 2nd session upon completeing the shell escape))
