It depends on the context in which the modem was suspended. If this was a regular system sleep transition, or some other suspend request coming from outside the driver, then packets should be dropped. But if the suspend originated within the driver itself, as a power-saving measure while the connection was idle, then new packets should cause the driver to wake the modem up. That is, self-originated suspends should be transparent. Outside-originated suspends are someone else's problem.
