I bet that the is no way for software to interact with this feature and its just controlled by the motherboard/bios.

Get a dickie bird and put it on the control button :D

I don't think software would be able to generate the necessary hardware interupts to stop the suspend either.

On my Dell Inspiron 1000, it goes into sleep mode ONLY when I have the XP windows operating system booted up. When I'm running DSL, closing the lid has no effect.  That would lead me to believe there is indeed a software component.
