I noticed that V2.2.2 contains support for APM. I'm currently using my FreeBSD as a server for ISDN and disk (samba). Since I have multiple systems always on I thought I could use this to reduce my overall power consumption (yea I get amusing electric bills :-) That said I configured my system bios to specify the standby time but I disable the suspend time. I want to slow the CPU down, spin down the disk, etc, but I don't want to suspend the system. Unfortunately the systems insists on suspending. Yea all I have to do is touch the keyboard to unsuspend... but since this is a server it doesn't have a keyboard, monitor or mouse. Since I've been unable to figure this out I've been forced to disable apm. Is there anyway to configure this to work as I want? Thanks for any help! - Jeff
