I can put my notebook PC to suspended state by "zzz" command or "apm
-z", then later just turn it on to resume.
However, that's not the case with the 68k PowerBooks. Like I said, we
have currently no power management support for these guys, so you have
to use them as if they were a smaller desktop boxes.
Anybody's welcome to work on the PM support (hint, hint ;-)
