Is there any way to abort an XPR file transfer in VLT without rebooting? 
  Several times I've hit amigaR to receive without making sure that sender 
  and receiver were usng the same protocol and ended up waiting twenty 
  minutes for a timeout to abort the transfer or, with zmodem, having to
  reboot to get out of the thing.

Alternatively, is there a 'kill -9'-type command that will break a process
  no matter what?  break doesn't seem to work on much of anything.

Also: does anyone know if there are plans at commodore or elsewhere for a
  cheap high-resolution monochrome graphics board?  I'd like res better
  that 640x400 to run xwindows in, if I'm going to fork 5k for an
  Amiga 3000ux.
