I don't have one for the 750CS (dual scan) model. You should visit
the Thinkpad FAQ homepage, which gives detailed instructions on how
to get XF86 working on a 750CS, though outdated.

Slackware 3.x already uses rc.d scripts. They are located in
/etc/rc.d/... I would recommend using netconfig to setup your TP
to use loopback by default. You should be able to write two
simple scripts which use ifconfig to access your campus network.
Also, the PPP (or SLIP) package from Slackware contains the necessary
scripts to dialup and configure a serial connection.
I know of someone who ingeniously modified the kernel module loader/
unloader scripts to automatically run ifconfig/etc when an ethernet
card was inserted or removed. This isn't very flexible but certainly
very convenient if your point of connection will always be the same.

Suspend using Fn-F4 combo only seems to work part of the time under
Linux. Your best bet is to get the APMD package. I use it to
suspend my 750C directly from the kernel. It works very well, and
the PCMCIA cards resume after suspend smoothly. I have not tried to
get hibernation to work under Linux due to lack of need, but it
shouldn't be too hard.
