Question : Problem: Wake up modem thingy !!

Hi there,
I was looking for new motherboards and found AOpen's AX6BC motherboard and in  specifications it has a feature of

1. WAKE ON MODEM or Wake on Zero Voltage Modem.
 
2. WAKE ON LAN

Thanks

Answer : Problem: Wake up modem thingy !!

This feature is designed for those who a) have large networks or
b) travel a lot

for a):

If you are running a large business that uses a lot of computers, power costs can go up a bunch. If all the computers are networked together, some may have information that others need. With the wake on LAN option enabled, any request for information over the network will drag your computer out of la-la land, allowing you to turn it "off" and still have the info on it available

for b):

if you are a traveling businessman and you need info from your home pc, you plug your laptop into a phone jack and dial it up. With the Wake on modem option enabled, even if your computer has been turned off the modem will connect and resurrect your machine.

Unless you fall into one of these two categories, you will get no benefit.
