I know that some of Octavian's messages haven't been of the best, but at least read them. He's already stated that he logs in over telnet. This means that your changing of consoles won't work for him. Octavian, if you are working at the consol and your emacs-speak stops speaking, you might want to try telneting to your box from Windows, to ensure that your box is still alive. Then, you can follow the other steps outlined by Janina to kill the relevant process. I know it's not ideal, as you of course want to use Linux from the consol, but it is the lowest risk solution, as constant reboots could eventually cause your file systems to become corrupted if you're not running ext3fs or similar. The other thing that springs to mind is that emacs-speak or via voice may crash if you're trying to run them on a consol other than directly, i.e. if you're trying to use them after logging in over telnet, these apps may not appreciate it. Also, as has been previously stated, don't forget that you can open more than one telnet session to your Linux machine from your Windows box, so you can use these extra sessions to check the status of seemingly dead processes if you want/need to.
