Don't know if this is significant enough to help, but I never run term in
the background. I just do this:
HP-UX [1]% term
<escape sequence>
Kermit> !term <>/dev/cua2
This works like a charm, but when you kill term, it hangs up the line.
It's possible (not sure) that backgrounding term will cause it to die
(like some programs do) and this may in turn hang up your line.
