iChat when asleep?

[besler3035]

Is there any way to keep iChat running when my iBook is asleep, so users can see my away messages and send me messages?

The computer would have to be awake to keep the connection with iChat

You have to understand that when your computer is asleep it can't do anything. There's a trickle of power sent to the RAM, and other than that the computer is for all purposes off.
