I'm experiencing the same. On my machine, suspend mode usually triggers a lockup after some while. Moreover, crontabs won't run and the system clock runs slow (well, not the system clock in BIOS but the Linux one); I also use the vgetty for faxing and that didn't work anymore either.
So, I chose to disable suspend in BIOS and only allow the PC to fall into standby mode. Until now, this works. BTW, I have an Asus TX97 with AMD K6-233. The apm utilities work well, (except for "apm -s" :)) If someone has a solution I'd be happy to learn of it. Felix > ___________ > Felix Chang > > Hoogovens Research & Development > P.O.
