Hi Keith,

Cool. BUT does the T20 S3 X server stuff hang up the screen when
configured
for closing the lid and NOT suspending/hibernating ? 770's go all brown
and
bad if you do this.

Way cool. BUT under what license is the source being released ? GPL ?
ALSA
is GPL I believe.

Thomas, are you reading this ? ;-)

Way cool.
No need to ask about the license here, APMD is GPL
Thomas, are you still reading ? ;-)

This is cool also for the TP's that have a Lucent Lin-Modem. ;-)

Okay, NOW the crunch question:

If Lucent can do this, then when will IBM follow suit and do te same
thing for
their MWave/ACP modems ????

Bill.
