To summarize and confirm previous postings: the HP9000/800s have had job
control for sometime now, the HP9000/300s will soon have job control.

If you have an 800 (you have referenced an 835 in another article) and
you seem not to have job control, then check that the following stty
options are set:

    stty susp ^Z dsusp ^Y tostop

    the man page on stty should provide any more needed details
