Last I checked, ACPI does suspend to memory or disk, using swsusp. It's even all integrated into the 2.5 kernels (though the CONFIG_SWSUSP option is buried in the kernel hacking section rather than ACPI). If you don't want to run an experimental kernel, then you can patch 2.4.x from the acpi.sf.net site. -- derek
