nice idea. first, i thought about doing something like that.
but after i found the solution with the 'magic packet triggered
timeout', the picnic solution seems to be extreme overkill to me, for
just turning power on and off.
as i already described, with a wol lan card, the whole thing can be done
with a few lines of code and a pic, only running as a timeout generator
(could also be done in discrete logic).
