"ACPI (short for "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface") is a
     standard that defines power and configuration management interfaces
     between an operating system and Hardware. It is meant to supersede
     the older APM standard (for power management) and provide a generic
     interface for recognition and configuration of hardware devices."

   ACPI Tools homepage -- http://ecomstation.ru/acpitools
There is FAQ, readme here: http://ecomstation.ru/projects/acpitools/?action=faq

  Available to those with access to the Downloads area (not the BetaZone) 
via Software Subscription Services: ( via logging in at 
http://www.mensys.nl/indexuk.html )  there is a test version of ACPI 3.15 
under the  downloads listing.  Look for the file named: /ACPI/ACPI315.ZIP

This is the first version of ACPI that allows my Lenovo Thinkpad T61 to 
successfully Suspend and Resume.

So if you have a system that requires/works with ACPI, and you are 
interested in testing this version (make sure you backup your existing 
files or have a complete system backup first) copy/paste the form at 
http://ecomstation.ru/projects/acpitools/download/acpi-db-form.txt into 
http://ecomstation.ru/support.php and fill in the information.
