Receiving Faxes in Sleep Mode

I am able to send and receive faxes using Windows Fax and Scan when my
computer is running. However, my computer does not wake up from sleep mode
to receive faxes. I believe Vista Ultimate is supposed to wake up on
receiving a fax.

Do I need to configure anything to receive Faxes in sleep mode?
 
I couldn't get this to work either and never found a solution (except buying
an all-in-one print/fax/scan/copy: not a bad approach since they're cheap,
and more convenient to transmit with if you do any faxes outside of
applications).

Seems I did read that it's supposed to wake from sleep to receive faxes. I
have the same problem with scheduled tasks like file back-ups: I think it's
supposed to wake from sleep to do these, but seems to just run them when I
wake from sleep manually (not great, since it hogs resources that would not
be an issue if it ran at 2:00 am as scheduled).

you need to be sure the bios is set to
WAKE ON RING.

Is there a bios setting to make it wake for scheduled events such as backups,
installing updates, etc.?

Thanks.
 
might be such an option in the fax setup but not in the bios.
