I've been experiencing a problem with the desktop VT52 emulator on a
fairly regular basis, and I'm wondering if I'm the only one.  What happens
is this:  some noise comes over the phone line (like when it hangs up on
the other end), and suddenly the terminal emulator goes dead.  Nothing
shows up on the screen, nothing goes out the RS232 port.  Going back
to the desktop and then back into the terminal emulator doesn't do a thing
to unwedge it; you have to hit the reset button.  My modem (a Signalman)
is admittedly not the most reliable piece of equipment in the world, but
I've never had similar problems using it with my Heathkit terminal.  Does
this sound familiar to anybody?  Is there some less catastrophic way to
unwedge things?
