The connections you are trying to preserve are handled by ssh, and have
nothing to do with screen. They require a constant connection, and
AFAIK cannot be put into suspended animation as you describe because
they require constant communication between the server and your laptop.
When the laptop goes to sleep, this communication is broken, and the
connection is dropped. That's the way it's supposed to work.
There may be tools that allow you to approximate this functionality,
like NX or autossh, though I don't really know anything about them, just
something to take a look at. Maybe if you give a more detailed
description about what you're trying to do someone can provide some more
help.

I have a laptop which wants to power down on a regular basis and as a
result, the WiFi network connection goes away. originally I was
thinking about using screen to protect my connections but what screen
doesn't do is protect my forwarded connections (IMAP, X11, etc.) I
also need to solve the problem of resizing the terminal emulator
windows, completely transparent pipe to the other end (i.e. no special
characters intercepted), and probably a few other things I can't think
of right now.
I think it is best summed up as I am trying to preserve state about a
connection and the application running on the connection with the end
goal of restoring that state should the connection be broken.
am I better off sticking with screen and ignoring X% of its features
or starting over again?
many thanks
