I just got my ISC V3.3 R2.2 set up to run VP/ix and while most of 
what you say is what I've seen, there is one major glitch: if I 
lose the carrier while in VP/ix, the task just sits there as a 
sub-task under getty and doesn't abort. If I log onto another line
and kill -9 the VPIX task, then getty respawns.

Maybe I haven't installed VP/ix right.....
