Another thing that annoys me about this PW3 (apparently a lab125 design decision) is that the USB net drops every time screensaver mode starts. I was in the middle of editting a file when it dropped this time -- I wonder if I can recover my session (probably not, unless I install and use "screen")...

On my K5 and earlier, usbnet login sessions survived screensaver mode. Apparently not so on newer firmwares. Perhaps turning off USB is a power saving feature. I will need to get in the habit of disabling screensavers (lipc command) in my usbnet sessions, I guess...
