Using Suspend Mode
Suspend, available in Windows 95, is a power management feature that lets
you leave your computer on in a power-saving mode. When your computer
is in Suspend, it appears to be off. However, it continues to receive incoming
faxes and perform automatic tasks you have scheduled. When you exit
Suspend, the computer returns to the state it was in without going through
the normal startup routine.
