MOX": a modem controlled AC power switch for use with a PC and an external modem. MR. MOX features 4 heavy duty grounded outlets; 2 of these are hot always, and 2 are controlled automatically by the Carrier Detect signal from an external modem. When any PC is then plugged into the automatic outlets and the software provided is installed, a user may call the PC from a remote modem and have complete use and access to files. The included software can automatically differentiate at boot between the local use of the PC and a remote caller, so a local user sees no difference whatsoever when MR. MOX is added to the system! Other features include: o Manual-override switch o 125 V 15 Amp circuit can be placed anywhere breaker for user convenience o Complete with DB-25 o 100 second power-off tap-in cable that delay to protect allows installation in against carrier drop- just minutes out o Comprehensive User's o Built-in surge Manual with application supression hints MR. MOX is priced at $99.95, and is distributed by: Kenmore Computer Technologies 30 Suncrest Drive Rochester, New York 14609 (716) 654-7356 Diagram_of_MR.
