BenaTong announces PowerGuardian(tm) for NeXTSTEP: Monitors Uninterruptable
Power Supplies and Performs Orderly System Shutdown.  Works with American
Power Conversion's Smart-UPS, Back-UPS, and network PowerCell.

Columbus, OH, March 22, 19931 - BenaTong, today announced PowerGuardian(tm),
an application which provides network wide monitoring and control of American
Power Conversion (APC) Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS).


PowerGuardian(tm) takes full advantage of NeXTSTEP's Distributed objects to
allow multiple clients to monitor a variety of UPS parameters and capacities
of any UPS on the network.

During power failure conditions, the protected machine is shut down at user
specified time and/or battery capacity levels. Complete notification is given
to network users when the UPS switches to battery, when shutdown is imminent,
or when line power is restored.  All shutdown and notification levels are
determined by the user and are completely configurable.  Event logging and UPS
testing are performed to the users specifications.

BenaTong,  based in Columbus Ohio, is a consulting firm that specializes in
providing commercial applications and custom software for computers running
NeXTSTEP.
