As far as I know this can only be done on computers that have out-of-band management or lights-out interfaces, and these are generally found on servers rather than on desktop or laptop computers.
Such an interface may be available as an add-in card, but I don't know of any, probably because I've never had to look...

For that you'd need special hardware. HP Servers sometimes include a Lights-Out module, and Dell Servers an iDRAC which can give such options. You'd then connect via the LAN and login to that module using a web-browser. Also, at least those modules in the Dell server are often light versions of the real thing, and the light version doesn't yet include that functionality. To get the full functionality you have to buy the upgrade.

But if such modules were available for desktop PC's I'd expect them to be expensive, as they are really a small PC.
