I have a Trendware "10/100 Mbps PCI Fast Internet Card with Wake-
on-LAN"  The literature implies that you can use it to power-up a
networked PC.  But then they add the following sentence with the
complete explanation.

" Wake-On-LAN enabled PC is never completely powered off, it
maintains a low-level auxiliary power supply to the motherboard."

I don't fully understand the description of your requirements
(S1, S3, S5. etc.)

I hope this gives you some information.  If you would like me to
send you the complete Remote Lan Wakeup section writeup,
contact me offline.
