I believe that the iBook dissipates heat via the keyboard, so it cannot 
do much of anything with the lid closed other than sleep.

Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that if you 
want the iBook to "wake" and do things automatically (like answer the 
phone for a fax call, for example), the lid needs to be open.

"You see, men are like bras. The really hot looking ones are never very 
supportive. The durable, practical ones are mostly boring. They're 
almost never big enough, and they're all pinchy. I go through them 
quickly, no matter how well I take care of them, and if I find one I 
really like I seem to end up wanting two. Free-speech feminist or not, 
you know you could use one, but they're all a bit confining, If you get 
one so comfortable that you don't know it's there, well, what's the 
point? And you always end up hooked. Men are just bras that can drive. 
That's Victoria's Secret." -- Liz Langley
