What sort of winmodem?  My Inspiron is connected right now through the

The same kind of Lucent based as you got, I suppose. It's completely new to me it works under 2.4, as the docs for the winmodem sources say it won't. The

hmmm. You read the dox :-) I just assumed that I could compile the ltmodem source...and I could.

I'm pretty sure I did have suspend-to-disk working when I first installed

Also, I used to have an IBM 380 ED, where S2D was working as well. What exactly is the problem with it anyway? After all, isn't it implemented in the BIOS?

That's a big "maybe". Since APM has never worked on my Inspiron 2500, I have no idea about APM, but under ACPI S2D is not _yet_ implemented. Two of the developers are still arguing about the correct way to do it. One thinks (with a good bit of empirical evidence to back him up) that swsusp can be integrated to store the entire system state in the swap partition. Another developer thinks they need to walk the entire device tree and shut down things one at a time, then reverse the process on wake.
