[Linux-disciples] Suspending an ssh session

I'd like to be able to Ctrl+Z (suspend) an ssh session, so
that I could do something in the local terminal window and
then unsuspend the ssh session. But if you type Ctrl+Z
within the ssh window, ssh traps it and suspends a process
running on the remote server. Is there any way to make the
suspend apply locally?

(I'm trying to get to a point where I never open multiple
terminal tabs. I'd like to be able to do everything with
judicious use of Ctrl+Z.)

(And yes, I realize that I could use 'screen' within one
terminal window, but that feels like cheating.)
