New technology will now allow computers to wake up from their power-saving sleep state when they receive a phone call over the internet. |

That's great, IF you want to use a PC as a phone. |

I am not sure if this is a good idea knowing it takes sometimes for a computer to get ready waking up from a sleep. Unless your VoSP provides a voicemail that you can adjust when to intercept an incoming call, chances are it will kick in after you have heard the 1st ring. OTOH, your caller will probably hang up after too many rings of no answer.
