That said TCP/IP is very resilient :). I tried suspending to disk
my laptop, unplugging the batteries and ether card, taking it to another
part of the building and the firing it up.
Pccardd saw the ethernet card, Dhclient saw the dhcp server and got
my ip address back, and my pre-existing remote terminal sessions
continued functioning :) Excellent.
IMO if the machine is a server and you want to suspend it, who cares
about the clients at the other end? If you did you wouldn't suspend
it in the first place :)
