Well I'm not sure if the "(via internet)" is meant to be significant.
If you have a modern machine on ethernet, you can turn it on with
a wake-up packet, but I don't know the details of how one generates
this packet.
So, in theory, I could dial in to this illustrious institution
and wake up my desktop machine (were I ever to turn it off).
