Interesting. Have you checked to see if there is an updated driver for the
modem or talked to Sony about this?

I was thinking about your problem today. Another thought that crossed my
mind is the settings in Control Panel's Power Options. You can use this to
set up the system to hibernate by "closing the lid" of a laptop. If the
latch was loose on the lid and there is a lack of clearance between the
edge of the screen and the power switch, they could bump into each other
enough to turn the system back on.

I may be reaching more than I should for an explanation to your problem but
but it does sound like the Sony laptop is not truly hibernating (power
completely off). There is either a power switch problem of some kind or
power management/hibernate is very different on a Sony than most laptops.
