Is there truly off wake-on-lan?

Hi Group,

I'd like to build a computer that is truly off (not
sleeping/hibernating/etc), which wakes up and powers up when I signal it.

Is there a wake-on-lan device that will do this (maybe with batteries that
recharge when the machine is on, or somesuch)?

Also, can this be done via 802.11 or bluetooth?

Thanks!

You can get a unit called a master-switch which has a pass-through power
chord to your computer.

You telnet into the master-switch, tell it which port to turn on/off and
it cuts/supplies power to your machine.
