[ale] ATX auto power-on???

[Michael A. Smith]

And vice versa....I have the opposite problem.  My ATX machine starts up
whenever the power goes out(after it comes back on).  My only option is to
turn off the computer completely using the switch on the back.  If you find
out an answer please reply to me.
