D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Nonlethal damage -- how does it work?

[coyote6]

For any of the folks with 3.5e -- how does nonlethal damage work? Is it the same as subdual damage, with a different name? Or is it like d20 Modern nonlethal damage*?

*(which, IIRC, basically makes things like whips useless, since nonlethal damage < Con means "no effect")

It's subdual damage by a different name.
