Occasionally when connecting to a remote site one gets disconnected and has to 
telnet back and relogin. Occasionally for some reason unknown to myself the
old process still exists and is just sitting there.

Question:
 Is there a way of recovering the job to the foreground.? It doesnt exists
 on 'jobs' (using tcsh on 4.3BSD) and usually I just kill -9 <pid>
 Can I regain control of it?

Mark.
