Wake a Mac form a PC and vice versa

Unless I'm mistaken, WOL only works on a LAN.

In the thread where this topic started at the apple discussion forums I pointed out that the way to remotely wake a mac from outside your LAN is to ssh into your LAN to an ssh server you leave up 24/7 and then from that server you can issue a CLI command to wake up any sleeping computers on your local network.

Presuming you know how to set up SSH and use the terminal should have no trouble using wake on lan
