 I've played with it a bit, transfering .vcd's from my Siemens SL45 and
stuff but I don't really =use= IRDA.

 I'm pretty sure fn-<esc> does suspend to memory. I don't use
susp-2-disk. (What good is it really?)

 I've heard reports of problems with X and suspend but I haven't
experienced any my self. Perhaps 'cause I don't use X very much.

 I did meet a German at HAL2001 (www.hal2001.org) who had problems with
suspend+X but he couldn't repeat it when I asked for a demonstration :)
