Re: [PLUG] energy star


Your system may not be configured to monitor activity on the IRQ handling the modem.

Yeah, check the settings for power management in you BIOS.



Ahh, the BIOS. I was thinking it was an XFree thing.


When I use KDE/kppp everything is fine because KDE's screen savers
prevent the energy star stuff from kicking in.

When I use rp3 with Window Maker, a sleeping monitor is accompanied by a
disconnected serial modem (and a stalled print job).

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.
