Hello all,
I wonder if anybody here is using IR receiver that is connected to the PC with 9-pin serial cable and is able to wake the machine from suspend mode?
Thanks.

I use a IR-receiver which also connects to the power button header on the mainboard. It requires +5VSB (I took it from an USB header, since that was the only option available on my MB) to power the circuit. And of course the button that shorts the power button header is programmable. With this solution it doesn't matter what mode your computer is in, since pressing the power button is going to wake it from any mode.
I got the receiver from: http://www.atric.de/
There are other implementations on the net, that have basicly the same idea. See Google! IIRC They are all so complicated that you are going to need a circuit board so unless you have the access to hardware required to make one, you need to buy a ready one or a DIY set.

Note that not all motherboards have +5VSB high in S5 (power off) in USB headers - some have it configurable, some don't. On my motherboard it is not configurable, but luckily it seems that all (or at least the one where I connected the +5VSB line) have it always high (I'd believe this is the case with most modern motherboards). This might matter if your motherboard doesn't have any headers having +5V in S5... but then of course you can always connect straight to the power supply, as in the instructions for the receiver I mentioned in my previous post =). BTW there's also an english manual on the site.

I can't find it anywhere. Only german pages and manuals... Do you have a link ?
It's in the download section.... but here's a link anyways =)
