Ahh, the BIOS. I was thinking it was an XFree thing.
When I use KDE/kppp everything is fine because KDE's screen savers

When I use rp3 with Window Maker, a sleeping monitor is accompanied by a

When I use ifup with Window Maker, a sleeping monitor is accompanied by
a disconnected serial modem, . . . but . . . as soon as I "wake up" the
monitor by moving the mouse, ifup automatically reconnects. Not an
adequate solution for long downloads, but an interesting convenience for
email checking.
