How do I terminate a process similarly to kill -9 $PID?

I would like to do the same as GNU/Linux offers: For example, a shell is running a Telnet session to a router, but later that router is powered off. Consequently, the shell is unusable. All I have to do is lookup the process ID matching telnet $IPv4_of_router and then issue kill -9 $Process_ID. This is just an example. However, how do I terminate a process?

I was able to kill a hung ip sla responder process using the following command: 

clear sockets 122

where 122 is the PID for the process IP SLAs Responder which was previously using 99%+ CPU time.
