Then, if someone calls me, that would send network traffic, and then take the machine out of standby so I know I gotta call? If I could get all this to work like that I would be king of all geeks with my friends! hahaha
You could try it, but I think you might miss a lot of calls. Think about how long it takes your pc to "wakeup" once it goes into sleep mode.
