Re: Saga of the Modem

[stanwass@kentucky.psych.uiuc.edu (Stanley Wasserman)]

Dear all:
I recently purchased an AT&T KIT modem, which works just fine with 
   my TP750C.  I am a DOS/WINDOWS person, and
   I am using the drivers from the most recent
   ThinkPad Utilities diskette (along with EasyPlay and the DOS
   command Ramboost).
A problem I have been having is that with these drivers loaded,
   the machine will not go into either suspend or hibernate mode.
   The documentation for the machine does state that the machine
   may not be able to hibernate with a PCMCIA card, but it says
   nothing about not being able to suspend.
Would anyone like to help?  I think that the problem arises because
   the modem stays on (at least the light for the card remains on).
   The commands pcmciaof and pcmciaon (part of the new Utilities set)
   do nothing.
In case you are interested, my config.sys file is given below.
Thanks in advance for your help.

P.S.  Here's my config.sys
*******************
DEVICE=C:\windows\HIMEM.SYS
FILES=30
BUFFERS=10
dos=high
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS RAM X=C000-CFFF
device=c:\dos\ramboost.exe load
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\EASYPLAY\IBMDSS01.SYS /S0=2
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\EASYPLAY\IBMDOSCS.SYS 
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\EASYPLAY\DICRMU01.SYS /MA=C000-CFFF

DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\EASYPLAY\AUTODRV.SYS C:\THINKPAD\EASYPLAY\AUTODRV.INI

DEVICE=c:\dos\power.exe
DEVICE=C:\thinkpad\IBMVESA\VESA.EXE
STACKS=9,256
SHELL=C:\UTILITY\NORTON\NDOS.COM /p
*****************
I have tried this with and without the power device driver, and it makes
   no difference.  My solution now is simply not to lad the easyplay
   drivers when I am not using the modem, but I would rather get the
   machine to properly hibernate/suspend with the modem operational.
