Well...think I found the answer to my own question, so I'll note what it was should anyone else be interested.
I tried another freeware app for waking up Macs on a network. Right up front in the ReadMe it noted: Frequently Asked Questions Q: Is WakeUp able to wake a machine through AirPort? A: No, AirPort is disabled when the machine is asleep, and WakeUp can not connect to it. There it is, right? I presume that Wake550 works the same way. If the iBook is sleeping the AirPort card is disabled and you can't wake it remotely. This makes sense, no? Ciao, bob -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
