Hmm...OS/2 2.11 has so far failed to allow me to put it into suspend
at all! I've tried a variety of order in the Config.SYS but to no
avail. What's the order it should all be in?
I think I may try to put the OS/2 2.1 APM in as well. I'm using the
COM.SYS driver that came with the Utilities Disk 1.2 which worked
fine before. But I've also tried the COM.SYS from OS/2 2.11 -- no
go (or stop, should I say).

Have you tried one of those third party command line programs? Or
better yet, use the setboot command.

I've noticed this too. It only occured once in a while, but it was
enough to keep me on the edge of my pants each time I pulled out of
suspend (God forbid I hibernate!).
