Terminal locking up

I ran into the following problem yesterday:
I'm running SCO Xenix 2.3.2 on a 386 with 3 Arnet Smartport boards.
One tty (on the Arnet board) locked up and I needed to shutdown and
reboot to get it to work again.
I tried unplugging and replugging in the port, shutting off and repowering
the terminal (a DEC VT100) connected to port, sending X-ON characters from
the terminal, and finally tried to kill the getty process on the device.
Nothing worked and the kill -9 would not start a new getty process.
The port locked up after automatically logging off the user due to too
much idle time.
If anyone has any suggestions or has run across a similar situation, I'd
appreciate it -- I'd hate to have to shutdown each time it happens.
Thanks in advance,
Robb
