Aha, "man 7 signal" gave me the clue to the remainder of the problem --
since I'm not necessarily the process owner (I might be 'root' on some
totally other terminal) the following works:
# kill -SIGSTOP 488
stops the process. If attached to a user on a terminal, will see a
"stopped" message.
# kill -SIGCONT 488
restarts the process. Strangely, if user types "jobs" the list will show
the process as being stopped even though it is actually running.
Thanks!

p.s. why do the manpages say, "See signal(7)" but you have to type
"man 7 signal" instead of "man signal(7)" like you'd expect? Pet peeve.
