CPU Energy Saver & Geoport: Wake up Possible? (4/94)

I have a Power Macintosh 8100/80AV running the CPU Energy Saver Cdev with a GeoPort¬ Telecom Adapter connected. Can I set my Power Macintosh to wake up from CPU Energy Saver when a phone call comes through on my GeoPort¬ Telecom Adapter?

The answer is NO. Here's why:

The Power Macintosh needs to be ON to be able to answer the phone using a GeoPort¬ Telecom Adapter and Express Modem Software. The CPU Engergy Saver software shuts down your system at a time you specify. With your Macintosh shut down your GeoPort¬ Telecom Adapter cannot be utilized.

The CPU Engergy Saver software does have a feature called "Do not shut down if a serial port is being used". If either port is active (i.e. Geoport waiting for a phone call), the system will not shut down. You can disable this feature by unchecking this option.
