If you still want to keep that function and just make it faster, you may not be able to. That's what I meant by "Different PC's react differently to sleep mode". Type of modems used, and NIC's can affect that. Since you mention "wake up call action", sounds like a modem is involved. IF you need to continue to use the WOR function (If that's what you mean by the quote above) then it's going to have to continue to be enabled in the BIOS.
If not, Instead of true sleep mode, you can try to disable that area in the BIOS like I mentioned below, and in the windows area I mentioned below just set the monitor and HD power down to X minutes (or hours). The monitor will shut off (as long as it's energy star compliant), and the HD will power down, but all fans will remain running. I don't usually tinker with these areas (I always have mine disabled in the BIOS) and in Windows since that requires additional CPU resources to enable it. PC's can sometimes "act funny" as well when they wake up, where restarting must be done. (I'm also never away from any PC long enough to warrant any power down settings! ;-) If first paragraph above holds true, then you may want to try to disable all power down settings in the BIOS EXCEPT for just the WOR or WOM (wake on ring, wake on modem). -Clint Happy Holidays to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner Want to exchange links with us? http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ralph" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Clint: Thanks.
