Hi,

This isn't a problem, but a rather puzzling behaviour from my iMac. We have 
recently connected the NBN to a house we are building, so I have the modem and 
an old (~2007) iMac in the house, connected by ethernet. Because we aren't 
living there I turn both computer and modem off most of the time.

Right from the start I noticed that if I turned the modem on first the iMac 
booted itself up without being touched. OK, I can accept that. But one day I 
reached out to turn on the modem, changed my mind and didn't touch it, but the 
iMac booted anyway. The next time I was on site I tried an experiment, and just 
walked over to the modem and waved my hand in front of it. Sure enough, the 
iMac booted. Yesterday I got Geoff to try (in case I had a high static charge 
and it was me doing it). He never even got to wave his hand - he just walked 
briskly over to the modem and the iMac booted!

It does seem to be associated with the modem - I can go to the desk and sit in 
front of the iMac and nothing happens unless I get close to the modem.

Any ideas?

Cheers, K
