Anyone have ideas on why an Aptiva 2161 would randomly turn itself on?
There are no IBM software applications installed (Ring Central etc.),
Rapid Resume is disabled in the Sure Path Utility, requiring the on/off
button to be used to power off (Wake up on ring would not stay disabled
when I left Rapid Resume BIOS enabled)
I do not have any fax software installed and I have a dedicated PC Phone 
line with no phone attached, and "easy call" is disabled.
Win 98 power management is set to "never" do anything........
This "auto on" glitch has occurred 3 times in the last 3 weeks after 2 years
operation.
Something going strange with the in case power supply ?
