is there any way i can dial a MAC Address in order to use the Wake-On-Lan feature on my BIOS with a cell phone? Kind of a strange question, i just think it would be really cool to be able to turn on my computer with my phone. So basically what i need to know is if there is a way to dial my NIC

But if you have a FAX program and a modem, set it to wake the PC on an incoming call. That's WAKE, not turn on.
yeah i kinda figured that was gonna be the answer, unless i had a PCI modem or something then i could set the BIOS to power up the pc when it detects PCI activity.
But thanks anyways!
so it can be wake up by the bios or whatever...
If it is turn on .. then no way that signal will press the button for you..
