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.
