AFAICT that's not hibernation - that's sleep mode. There's a difference,

I use hibernate mode all the time. I once used it at work when we were
moving from one building to another. During that time the computer was not
even connected to the power source and indeed in a moving truck! When at
the new building I powered it on and it came back exactly to where I had
left it off prior to hibernating it.

In fact, Wake On LAN technology is
designed to work on machines that are completely shut down - the only
caveat is that the motherboard reserves power for the network card,
and the network card scans for a particular magic packet addressed to
it. If that packet shows up, the computer turns itself back on.

Oh it is definitely hibernate. I have never had the computer come out of
shutdown though. I found partial answers here
(http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-008459.htm) and here
(http://groups.google.com/group/alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.abit/msg/c40efb06dce495d6).
My computer does show ACPI. I'll try turning off my cable modem and see if
it works. Thanks for the suggestions.
