If the system is suspended, the CPU ain't running, so it's
difficult to wake the system up from code.  Simulating
I/O will not help; it's the actual hardware interrupt which 
causes the chipset to wake up.

Win98 will allow timer-based wakeups via 'waitable timers',
see CreateWaitableTimer.

The implication (by omission) is that this is the only
way to wake the system up on a timer. It may require 
ACPI hardware, since pretty obviously you need a timer
that's not implemented in software.

Waitable timers do not exist in Win95 (at least the doc
says they don't). And even if they did it's not clear that
they'd have the wakeup side-effect. And even if they did
that on ACPI hardware it's not clear they'd do that on
APM hardware.
