Clang! You just said the magic words, "sound card"! I've been struggling to get an old WavJammer soujnd card to record audio correctly on my L70. Have you attempted this with your card. And FM reception on the card! Sounds lovely... what kind of card is it? >Whoops. I made a mistake in the above. The ports work fine >coming out of hibernate.

Funny... the best deal for me using standby is that my combo dialup/NIC modem card works fine coming out of standby. This is a huge plus, as I had to pop it out and re-insert it every time I powered down. If I didn't, the system would freeze with it inserted, and I'd have to go into Safe Mode, then reboot W98, and reset my taskbar settings (which MS says there's no fix for). I'm still hoping to pin down just what's causing that modem problem. I've boiled it down to a conflict between its drivers, the Toshiba Power Saver driver for the L70, and the L70. No problem on the L50.
