The only thing I'm aware of to do that, without external hardware, is wake on lan. However, that has to be done from the local network. The alternative, would be something like the X10 system, where you can dial in with a touch tone phone.
You can wake on almost any interrupt, depending on the bios. If that irq is the one coming from the modem (ring?), you got it. Or almost, because the computer must be simply suspended, not powered off. I think there existed the possibility to wake on ring, and that some BBSs used it. Not very sure about it. It the computer has a power up pin, it would be possible to use the ring line from the external modem to wake up the computer - but any ring, mind, even for a wrong number. And the power supply would be on full time. An alternative would be having a router with some shell capacity, like sshing to it, then activating a wake on lan event to the internal lan somehow. Is there a router with that capacity? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
