If you don't want them connected to your terminal, then you can
send them the STOP and CONT signals to suspend and resume. If
you want to keep a terminal session on the server, you want to
be using a piece of software called screen, allows you to connect
and disconnect a session.

For example, I use it to get at my mail and news clients from work
by `detaching' the screen from my login session at my machine at 
home, and then `reattaching' it to the telnet session. When I'm
finished, I detach the screen again, and the jobs continue to run
even though they're not talking to a terminal session.
