If your PC supports Wake-up-on-Modem, you should be able to rig up a
connection to a serial port that toggles the RI (Ring In) pin. IIRC, RI is
active-high, so you want to switch a 12v DC signal across pin 5 (Gnd) and
pin 9 (RI). If you use a regulated wall-wart, you should be able to use a
standard appliance module.

Hope that helps.

Steve

Subject: [ukha_d] Automating PC via X10



I've a PC i'd like to automate with X10 but the catch is it has an ATX
motherboard and a bios that won't override the powerswitch.

I had though of locking the powerswitch on but that just powers the machine
on and 5 seconds later off again.

Any suggestions ?

Jeff
