           October 21, 1987      FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
 
     San Diego, California:  Epoch Data Devices announced today 
 
the introduction of a new product called "MR. 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
