imho the best device would be a combination of a timer with a
programable infrared receiver (like irman). so you could wake up by
timer or by a specific ! infrared command (not any - cause in the
usual living room there are a couple of ir controlable devices and we
dont want the vdr machine to react to there commands).
afaik wake on ring shoud work with most bios´es.

this combination would save serial ports too.
