[oats-sig] RE: oats-sig Digest, Vol 33, Issue 6

That's a clever idea... maybe a pda could be configured to do this?  You
could always power such a device off wheelchair batteries to allow it to be
always on.

Don't see why it shouldn't work over wireless?

There's a Palm WOL program: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN#PalmOS

Cheers.

I have been looking into similar areas, the main issue that keeps coming
round for me is that you need to have some device which is constantly on.
One idea is to have a phone or some small device capable of sending either a
directed or Magic packet to the network adapter of the aac, which can be
configured to listen even in hibernation mode.  I'm not sure this would work
over wireless.
