I got a phone call from a (otherwise happy) FreeBSD customer
who is using FreeBSD 2.0.5 in an industrial production environment
(btw) and he is 'complaining' about the ^Z behaviour.

His users were happy users of the med editor (ex PCS people, 
when will be a port of med available? Jordan, are you listening ?:-)
and have this ^Z built into their finger memory. So it happens
that they send vi permanently into background, wondering and starting
over with a pile of vi sessions in bg.

I tried stty susp ^P or something but it seems that the ^Z
behaviour is built into vi.

Any ideas how to help these people?
