#679: potentially wake up for telephone like ring alert

 The only difference between a computer and a dedicated VoIP phone is that
 the phone is always listening for incoming calls, even when it is "off" or
 idle. A typically computer can't be listening all the time because it
 draws too much power. Of course the OLPC laptop is different. So it should
 be possible to re-program the mesh router to wake up the computer if there
 is an incoming connection on a particular VoIP port so the laptop can play
 some sound to alert that there is an incoming call.

 If this is already possible then please close this bug. Otherwise, it
 seems like it could not be more than a trivial change to the hardware to
 support this kind of functionality.
