I've been beating my head against the wall for a couple days now with
Wake-On-Lan. I can get it to work if the target PC is in ACPI states
G1 or G2, but not G3. From what I've been able to find on the 'net,
I'm not even sure this is possible.

Is it possible to use Wake-On-Lan to boot a computer from ACPI state
G3, i.e., when power is first applied to the PC but prior to the first
boot?

If this is possible, is it hardware dependent?

If this isn't possible, is there an alternate way of remotely booting
a PC from ACPI state G3?

TIA

Maybe not from LAN, but in BIOS you can usually choose whether or not
the computer will automatically boot when power is restored.
