Although some BIOSs put it in odd places and call it strange things. I leave my viglen on 24x7 and when I want to wake other machines up at home (remotely or otherwise) I use the etherwake command:- sudo etherwake 00:1B:FC:XX:XX:XX It wakes up the other machine and a few mins later I can get to it via whatever protocol I need.
