Waking your computer using AJAX Remote is not possible for technical reasons: if your computer “sleeps”, no software can be executed and no network connections can be served. That includes the execution of Remote Buddy and also the HTTP server it contains. At best Wake-On-LAN could be used to wake a computer over the netowrk. This, however, would require web applications to be able to compile and send custom TCP/IP packets, which is not possible.
