Maybe it's in the hardware or the BIOS? After all, this is a small,
low-powered machine and I wouldn't be surprised if there were power saving
features built in at a lower level.

I have an XO laptop from the One Laptop per Child project, which is loaded
with power saving features. fortunately they can be turned off in the Linux
configuration to prevent it from suspending everything while you're trying to
work on it over a remote ssh connection from another machine, for example.

I haven't tried it with BRLTTY, for various reasons, but it should work.
