You can use another computer to send the WOL packet or you could build a WOL circuit.   I just finished such a circuit and have the plans on my website.

That's an interesting idea I've never considered before.

Something wrong with the site though? The link you have here links to a page that generates image paths such as

--- Code: ---http://www.thegallaghergroup.com/arcade/images/
--- End code ---

but the same page when navigating through your menu generates image paths that look like

--- Code: ---http://www.thegallaghergroup.com/arcade/WOL/images/
--- End code ---

My host does not allow web server directory browsing such as the paths you specified above.  You can right click on any image and save it.
I tested the page on IE7 and everything works.  I can not vouch for other browsers.
Please use www.rototron.info for linking to my site because I frequently change hosts.
The permanent link to the WOL project is http://www.rototron.info/?page=WOL/WOL.aspx

Umm... this isn't about directory browsing, it's about an unfriendly page or configuration for non IE users (I'm a FF user). I discarded the file names in the paths because it affects all of the images.
rdagger:
Firefox appears to be more sensitive to request query string syntax than IE.
I edited the links above and they now work with both browsers.
