That might not be enough to fix it.  If it's still hosed, try running
'reset' this is usually enough to clear-up most situations like this.
Note: you may have to type it in "blind" since you won't be able to
see the text as you're typing it.  Also, I don't think you can redirect
reset's output to another VT...it'd be worth a try, though.
