UPDATE Re: PowerBook Wall Street Server (NO SLEEP EVER)???

[Preston Wilson]

Keary -

I'll try rebooting into OS 9.2 tomorrow when I get to work.  Does the
Energy Saver's sleep setting get saved to the CMOS and affect power
management under Linux?  I wouldn't be surprised, but I was hoping that it
wouldn't be the case.

Do you think this would cause the machine to ignore traffic from outside
its subnet but still answer requests from its subnet?

Thanks for your help...
