how do you change the "breathing rate" of a sleeping Power Mac G4?

hum. That pulsing rate would be controlled by the power manager, PMU (SMC in the newer Macs) -- as that's the only thing running during sleep. In the GUI, you hit the PMU thru the Energy Saver system preferences. From the shell (Terminal), the pmset tool manages it. Perhaps there's something in the docs, 'man pmset'. Of course, it could also just be a hardwired circuit...
