its a bit complicated - so please bear with me . . .
In our company we run a dedicated machine that connected permanently to the internet and it runs our database www.cardbox.com software - client/server - its excellent.
The server for the database is in my loft and has its own dedicated IP address.
When the server turns off for any reason (powercut etc) I have to go into the loft and press the start button - which is ok when I am here!
However I have heard that I could configure a PCI Modem card to wake the PC up on an incoming ring - is this true - will it work - is it easy?
If so - this would make my life easy as all I or any of our team would have to do is make a quick phone call.
ALSO - if the machine is on and it gets a ringing while its on - what will happen to the machine?
I cant afford to spring at least £60 per month for a dedicated server hosting.
The machine is Windows XP etc etc
