I think I know the answer to this, but:

Is it true that an external monitor will not sleep when a Duo is docked in a Duo Dock?

I am running mine through a NuBus card and would have thought that I would have 
bypassed the internal monitor circuitry that caused this. But no! However, the Energy 
Saver control panel stupidly offers this as an option under the "external power" 
setting (it should be grayed out).

Is my only option a third party control panel that I've heard of that forces external 
monitors to sleep? I think I actually tried it once, but it did not stop the fan from 
spinning in the dock (if in fact it put the CPU to sleep) so it didn't really solve my 
problem (I needed the computer to stay on all night to receive a regular 4:00 AM fax 
and it would only auto-wakeup from "sleep" not auto-cold start).
