Yea, I just tried it again and it only took me 20 seconds to hit something (wrong key?) and its frozen that vt, nothing works. I tried killing its process and it remained frozen. Luckily, I had ssh'd in to the box so I could kill the ssh session from the originating box.

I know, the GNU folks are in love with Ctrl-* * commands (witness info) but why they can't give a screen like in minicom with drop-down menus or something...
