With my Tyan Dual PPro Board I couldn't even locate the APM Bios with SMP and
2.0.32. I wanted to use the thing for the same reason, like doing Shutdown -h
now
turn of the screen and walk away. The only thing I got was a Processor Panic (or
something a like) after the System was halted.
I specially envy my flatmate who runs SMP 2.0.35 on an Dual Pentium 133 Board
from Gigabyte, which works fine for this.

There seem to be no problems with the Gigabyte boar on that. On our local
network in our flat we do have a lot of traffic (nis/yp, nfs, playing arround
with ping -f and alike) and my flatmate's machine doesn't do anything wild, even
while burning a CD-ROM and having heavy traffic (and doing some kernel-compiling
stuff as far as I remember). Looks quite stable.
