Announcing PowerGuardian for NEXTSTEP for Intel Processors

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 12, 1993 - BenaTong announced today, that PowerGuardian, a
UPS monitoring/control application, will ship for systems running NEXTSTEP for
Intel Processors (NS/FIP) shortly after NS/FIP ships this May.

BenaTong president, Chuck Bennett, says "We are more committed than ever to
the NEXTSTEP environment now that the cross platform barriers have been
overcome.  The quality and completeness of the operating systems leaves little
doubt that NEXTSTEP is the user and developer environment of the future;
second to none."

PowerGuardian, BenaTong's latest entry into the NeXT market, monitors
uninterruptible power supplies from American Power Conversion (APC) and, in
the event of an extended power failure, performs an orderly shutdown of the
protected system.

The PowerGuardian can be configured  to perform various scripts at user
specified time since failure or remaining battery capacity. UPS health testing
can be automated and the test results logged for later analysis.  To supply a
full diagnostic path, power event logging can be enabled as can power quality
monitoring.

PowerGuardian is also network compatible and each user may select which UPS he
wishes to monitor.


PowerGuardian is available from BenaTong

Pricing: $149.95 including cable (per UPS) educational rate:  $134.95
including cable.
