Oh. Well, your needs weren't clear to me. I just thought you wanted to
simply suspend telnet or ssh, which is explained in the man pages. I didn't
realize you also intended to disconnect (close) the connection.

I understand your frustration. Sorry for increasing it by not understanding
your requirements.

Quite frankly, I don't think you can accomplish (what I now think you want)
once you close the tcp/ip connection. Something must continue running to
keep the connection alive. Certainly, moving to a different ip address will
require a fresh log in.
