Theoreticly it should be possible. Using DosDevIoCtl catagory 0Ch (
Advanced Power Managment ).

You can control it using POWER_SENDPOWEREVENT, POWER_SETPOWEREVENTRES,
POWER_GETPOWERSTATUS, POWER_GETPOWEREVENT and POWER_GETPOWERINFO

POWER_SENDPOWEREVENT could be used to 'activate' your computer
POWER_SETPOWEREVENTRES can be used to register a semaphore with the APM so
your program can sleep until the semaphore has been activated. ( providing
the right event took place )
POWER_GETPOWEREVENT can be used to check in what condition your machine is.
( i.e. enable your program when it goes into suspension and disable your
programma when your machine awakes )

The CP reference refers to specific power managment messages, but I really
do not know where to look, except for a reference of the APM ( the big
interrupt list maybe ? )
