hmmm.  You read the dox :-)  I just assumed that I could compile the 
ltmodem source...and I could.

That's a big "maybe".  Since APM has never worked on my Inspiron 2500, I 
have no idea about APM, but under ACPI S2D is not _yet_ implemented. 
Two of the developers are still arguing about the correct way to do it. 
One thinks (with a good bit of empirical evidence to back him up) that 
swsusp can be integrated to store the entire system state in the swap 
partition.  Another developer thinks they need to walk the entire device 
tree and shut down things one at a time, then reverse the process on wake.
