There are 2 tests you can try:

Go into the sys prefs and select energy saver. You will see a tab 
labeled "options", click it open and select the options closest to what 
you want to do. Scheduling the wakeup would have to be done either with 
an apple script or with a 3rd party app.

1. Set the available options you want and close the lid then test, ie 
ring the modem.

2. Leave the lid open and repeat test.

3. report back on results.

There was an applescript app in OS 9 in the extras folder on the cd 
called "IDo" I think it was, that would let you schedule wakeup on 9. 
You might try looking for it and find the url for it to query the 
author if he has any more info for you about X's scheduling 
possibilities.

I do know for a fact that the new books do not have the option of 
running in closed mode as the older ones did.
