VMware Server 1.0.4 has just been released. I would give it a try.
I've also been thinking again about your problem. What do you exactly 
mean by "goes to sleep after a while of no use"? It doesn't ping at all? 
It fails a couple of pings and then starts responding again? How long 
does it take to resume - or doesn't it resume at all? Do you notice any 
disk activity when (if) the IPcop VM resumes working (which could be 
paging on the host)? Could it be the Linux scheduler (remember, a VM is 
just a regular process as far as the host OS knows...) doing its tricks?
Can you be more descriptive of the symptoms you're experiencing?
