About the best thing to try if the tty appears to be hung is the following:
^J
stty all^J


See what is set.  exit^J will get you out.  I have seen things get wedged
on 3.x with X11 keeping the pty's set to an insane state.  I've also seen
it periodically with 4.0 and Suntools.  Can't get a handle on it though.
Been tempted to write a real stty sane program to fix the ioctls that stty
can't clear.... Sigh
