Helen,
thanks for your replay. That's what I already expected. Indeed some
systems have a save resume (like samba connections). But most client
server systems, which are holding open transactions, file locks,
sessions keys, email notifier et cetera are doomed in standby mode.
Okay, then i don't have to spend more time into investigating that and
simply recommend: Don't use standby or hibernation mode with my client
server application.

Gunther
