Yep, as soon as I posted it, I knew that comment would be greenie bait, which is why I'll never make a greenie. I put people first, and wanted to make his problem go away, as for doing nothing, for him its doing a lot, making his life easier. (I also offered a dedicated low power box that does the same job.) If you were really worried about cost, you could set the bios wake up and shut down times. And as I said it was an off the wall comment to make the whole modem issue go away, if you don't like it then don't use it. Simple Bruce Kingsbury wrote:
