Hi,
I am not 100% sure of this info, but here is a link that discusses wake-on
LAN technology.
http://www.wakeonlan.digitalwired.net/wake-on-lan/

I think all that you would need is to send a certain sequence in a packet to
the destination address that would trigger the bootup.

If you find more info please post it, I would be interested in your
findings.

Hope this was helpful.
