This is system-specific, but some computers have BIOS's that are
capablity of starting when they detect that a call comes in. Check your
BIOS. Do this by pressing the special key on startup goes into BIOS.
Look at your manual, or look at the screen during boot-up prior to
seeing the Windows logo. Normally F8, or ESC, or something. Then in the
menus for BIOS, look for this option.

The option might be called "Wake on Ring" or something similar.
