Well I tried the -p switch and, indeed, the system came down
completely.  But now it just
sits there.  This is after I enabled this setting in my BIOS:

"PME Event Wake UP"

I figured that would do the trick but evidently not.  Anything else I
should be looking at?  How long should the system wait before coming
back up?  I waited only a minute.
