    Post Modem wakes up computer, but everythings disabled.

    Does anybody know why a modem starts up the computer when the phone rings, when all power managment is disabled and anything remotely connected to com port power up is also disabled.

    As far as I can see, it must be a bios setting, but I can't find it.

    So, How many modems got fried this thunderstorm ?

    Some bios - phoenix - have a wake on ring feature in the power section of the bios. This could be causing what you see.

    Thankyou Swamprat, The Bios does have several "wake on" entries but all these are disabled as well

    Is this a sony desktop pc? I know on those that you could turn the connector on the MB around from the modem for wake on ring, and this would stop the problem. Could be a bios update for this issue also.
