I don't believe you can instruct a suspended laptop to wake itself up. That would take at least a BIOS feature, I think. A suspended laptop doesn't make a copy of anything. It just syncs the filesystems (writes changes to media), and puts the hardware into a low-power state. That basically mean

I think you'll have at least a bit of trouble doing this with current-ish kit, the big killer will be the "silent" requirement. I suspect, though, that putting together osmething like one of those Shuttle mini things with an Atom or C3 processor will do what you need. Alternatively, a netbook
