Re: [Bluez-users] M$FT optical desktop for Bluetooth now works wi

I think this could be doable if you get a bluetooth dongle to activate the RI
(Ring Indicator) line -- most motherboards support wake-on-modem activity.

Another BT sender activated by pushbutton could transmit a wakeup-call (there 
are full rs232-over bluetooth dongles out there).

Cheers,
Simon
