The same kind of Lucent based as you got, I suppose. It's completely new to me it works under 2.4, as the docs for the winmodem sources say it won't. The version seems to be kind of old than, but I never felt I should upgrade. I'll look into this matter, maybe I can even get a 2.4 kernel running ... > Did you _ever_ have suspend-to-disk working under Linux?

I'm pretty sure I did have suspend-to-disk working when I first installed SuSe Linux on the inspiron around a year ago. Later I added Debian on another partition and run out of space, so I deleted the suspend partition. Not quite knowing what I did than, as the Dell's software to remake it is broken and does not manage to actually complete the partition. That is, it runs and everything seems alright, but next time you run it it complains about an invalid format or such. Apart from that the software crashes for no appearent reason, so I stoped trying. Also, I used to have an IBM 380 ED, where S2D was working as well. What exactly is the problem with it anyway? After all, isn't it implemented in the BIOS?
