That's because, if you note the startup messages, it says something to the
effect of "Suspend is currently not enabled". Apparently some things
changed architecture-wise that required some reworking of the Suspend
functionality, and Samuel just hasn't gotten to fixing that yet. (Doesn't
hurt my feelings - I never could get suspending a session to disk working
right anyhow. Always got stuck in a loop after unsuspending when I tried
actually starting a program in the restored session.)

You need to edit /etc/molrc, and find the 'netdev:' line. I recommend,
unless you're in a situation where you can't spare a static IP, to just
use your ethernet device with the '-sheep' option, to use the SheepShaver
bridge interface. You'll have to load the 'sheep_net.o' module (from
/usr/lib/mol/modules) before starting MoL to make it work, and you will
not be able to do dynamic address assignment via DHCP or BOOTP. (Probably
not RARP either, but I haven't tried that.) The address does have to be
unique, just like if you were using a separate box. It can also take
advantage of printers or file shares via EtherTalk.
There's also a way that you're supposed to be able to use a tun/tap
device, but I have no experience with that.
