I have this happen frequently with Win95, sometimes with Linux, rarely
with DOS (although I almost never use DOS).  The Fn-F4 suspend combo
doesn't seem to put it back into suspend mode.

My 701 is set up to suspend on lid closing when on battery power.
I just pull the AC, shut the lid, wait about 15-30 seconds, open the
lid again and it usually wakes up fine.  Maybe this procedure bypasses
a locked keyboard?
