Yes, wake on magic packet works. I have my ADSL router set up to forward traffic destined for 9/UDP ('discard' port) on the ADSL interface to be sent to the broadcast address (where my Mac will see it) on my LAN.

I then use wakeonlan (perl script) to send a magic packet to the router from the internet, which wakes the Mac up. After this I can ssh in to my Mac (port forward for SSH configured on the ADSL router).

The only problem is that I only get 30 seconds of connectivity before my Mac goes back to sleep. I think this is the amount of time the machine waits for me to type my password on the console, as if I'd woken it up by clicking the mouse. Does anyone have a workaround for this? It's *REALLY* annoying :I
