I learned something at PLUG that I though was just so nifty, that I had
to share it.  ssh has an escape charcter (default is tilde, "~") which
can help you do some cool stuff.  I think the first two are going to be
very useful, but here's the whole section from the man page:

  *Escape Characters*
     When a pseudo terminal has been requested, ssh supports a number of func-
     tions through the use of an escape character.

     A single tilde character can be sent as ~~ or by following the tilde by a
     character other than those described below.  The escape character must
     always follow a newline to be interpreted as special.  The escape charac-
     ter can be changed in configuration files using the EscapeChar configura-
     tion directive or on the command line by the -e option.

     The supported escapes (assuming the default '~') are:

     ~.      Disconnect

     ~^Z     Background ssh

Um, cool, now how do I un-background it?
