Yep, WOL = wake on lan. The script I am using came from

http://gsd.di.uminho.pt/jpo/software/wakeonlan/

but you can turn up a number of solutions by googling.

This page at Mac OS X Hints has more info about SleepNow and Wake on Lan

Another data point for the original discussion, I have a Pismo that WOL
doesn't work on. But a co-worker's Pismo functioned correctly. At the time I
did the tests, we were both running Jaguar and were at equal patch levels.
