FoneALIVE! and Computer Sentinel Support BBS  609-988-1717
        Main Board Bulletin #2 - FoneALIVE! Product Description     

  FoneALIVE! is a second generation hardware device for keeping unattended
  automated devices ready to receive incoming telephone calls. It has its
  own microcomputer chip which monitors the telephone line for abnormal
  conditions.

  Bulletin Board Systems, FAX devices, Voice Mail Systems, and office Remote
  Access Workstations are examples of "systems" requiring automatic protection.
  When a lockup is detected, FoneALIVE! removes power from the system for 30
  seconds. When power is restored, the system returns to normal operation by
  conducting its automatic power-on sequence.
                                                                             
  The only other product on the market which provides this protection is the 
  Computer Sentinel which we also manufacture. The Computer Sentinel has the 
  handicap of only working with external modems, because it must connect to  
  the serial port (comm port) of the monitored computer.                     
                                                                             
  FoneALIVE! does not require a serial port connection. It connects directly to
  the telephone line and monitors for abnormal telephone line conditions.    
  FoneALIVE! also provides power to the monitored system. This is done by    
  simply plugging the system power cord into the FoneALIVE! power receptacle.

  FoneALIVE! is designed to automatically detect the following conditions:

  1. Detects when callers disconnect leaving the monitored system 
     locked-up.
  2. Detects when callers are making abnormal calls of short duration. This
     can happen when the monitored system is locked-up but the telephone
     device is still auto-answering incoming calls. When FoneALIVE! encounters
     6 consecutive short duration phone calls (less than 30 seconds), it
     determines that the monitored system is locked-up.
  3. Detects the obvious unanswered rings. Some modems are known to go brain
     dead and not pass the rings on to the monitored system. FoneALIVE! detects
     rings directly without the aid of the telephone device.
  4. Detects when your system locks up while attempting to answer a call.
  5. Includes a self timer mode (2 hours) which can be used for custom
     applications.

  When FoneALIVE! detects that the system is not responding properly to      
  telephone calls, it turns off power to the system for 30 seconds, and then
  restarts the system when power is restored. This will force the system to
  return to normal configuration and answer calls. Normal human telephone
  usage is ignored by FoneALIVE!, therefore it doesn't have to be disabled
  while the telephone line is used locally.
