I have a Hayes smartmodem 1200 and have had this problem for a long time
now with several other modem/terminal programs. 
It only happens when the remote end drops the carrier and this occasionally
causes the amiga to go bye-bye. The mouse can still be moved around but trying
to terminate vt100 by clicking on the left-hand button don't work anymore.
I can't remember if pushing the window to the back still works, but I suspect
not because I always have to reboot.
I posted a note about it
a couple of years ago and the only reply I got suggested that I had wired 
my modem improperly. Rubbish!
It seems to me that it is in the kernel somewhere.
