I had previously reported (and a few others have confirmed) a suspend/resume
problem under Warp which ultimately turned out to be related to the use of
a power-on password. Once the password was disabled, however, all was well -
including the abililty to access PCMCIA cards immediately following a suspend.
Since saying adios to my power-on password, I've had no trouble at all.

Strange, as the power-on password workaround also came directly from IBM.
In fact, I logged a PMR with OS/2 tech support relative to suspend/resume
problems which was eventually closed out as being non-reproducible. (This
due to the fact that they were not using a power-on password).

If there is some underlying problem with APM.SYS, I don't seem to be
experiencing it. Please keep us posted...
