I'm not sure what you mean. As far as I know the F270 doesn't have an
internal modem. Mine came bundled with a "Platinum Card MC220 Modem Card"
which is a modem, and you can also buy various cables for it to use it as
an ISDN modem or as an ethernet card.
I know the modem bit works (at least, I can tip(1) to it, type "AT" and
get "OK" back) but I haven't used it as a network card. I use a D-Link 650
for that.

Impossible, to the best of my knowledge. I could be wrong, but the
consensus on the list when I searched the archives was that it wasn't
possible.

Yes. I used FIPS to shrink the Windows partition, put a BSD partition
in the middle, and didn't touch the pre-existing hibernation partition.
Fn+F12 suspends to disk, and takes about 15 seconds to do so.
