A machine that is asleep is not off.  There is still power going to
certain components, including network cards that support WOL.  If you
enable WOL in your machine and your network card supports it then it
will be able to react to an incoming wake signal.  On a PC this works
in both Standby and Hibernate "sleep" modes.
