I think that the exact thinkpad rule is that you cannot suspend your laptop if You have a network adaptor plugged into the system. AND You're currently on AC power. Personally I just eject the PCMCIA network adaptor (which works a LOT more smoothly than under WinDos) and then I can suspend. Henry J. Cobb hcobb@telegenisys.com Telegenisys Inc.
