Job in Limbo

Hi, I had a job running on my desktop from one of our ES40's (5.1 patch 3)
through an excursion DECterm connection. I lost power to my office, so
obviously the DECterm session closed as well. I just checked and the job is
running still (thank goodness), but its just got ?? where the terminal would be.
Is there anyway to reconnect this job to a terminal so I can watch its progress?
Or do I just have to let it finish. This particular job will finish without any
user intervention, so it would never stop to wait at a prompt or anything.
Also, losing the displlay of the job wouldn't effect the job would it? Should I
just cancel this job and start over? I'm running an Informix dbimport (which
has been running for 22 hours so far). Any help would be appreciated.
