GUARD  -  Garfield's Universal Automatic Reboot Device
    =======================================================================

    OVERVIEW:

    GUARD is  designed specifically for Sysops  of BBS operating on  IBM or
    IBM compatible systems. This 8-bit  half-slot circuit card monitors the
    phone  line  and  when  sensing  "ring-thru"  resets  the computer on a
    preselected  ring  count.  The  reset  performed  is  identical to that
    achieved by depressing the "Reset" button on the computer. Thus, a BBS
    which experiences a "hang" condition will be reset by the next incoming
    call.

    PHILOSOPHY:

    Although this  approach is not quite  as reliable as units  which "cold
    boot" the  system by cycling  the AC power  line, the vast  majority of
    "hang" conditions are corrected by GUARD; and GUARD has two significant
    advantages! The first advantage is SAFETY: the unattended cycling of AC
    power  lines has  certain risks.  The second  advantage is  COST: GUARD
    costs less than any system which cycles the AC power line!

    OPERATION:

    Set  the ring  count on  GUARD by  installing the  jumper block  in the
    appropriate location. Complete instructions  and diagrams are furnished
    for proper jumper block installation. The default setting is for  THREE
    RINGS!  If  your  modem is not  answering  within three rings, you most
    likely have a problem. You can set GUARD for any ring count between one
    and nine rings.

    Insert GUARD into  any unused slot of an IBM  or IBM compatible system.
    Remove the  line connecting the  reset button from  the motherboard and
    connect it  to GUARD, and  then connect a  second line (supplied)  from
    GUARD to the motherboard. Plug the  incoming phone line into one of the
    RJ11 jacks on the back panel of  GUARD, and then connect a second phone
    line (supplied)  from the remaining  RJ11 jack on  GUARD to the  modem.
    Flip the  back panel toggle  switch on GUARD  to the "ON"  position and
    GUARD is operational!  This switch allows one to  easily defeat GUARD's
    operation without  having to disconnect  phone lines or  take the modem
    off hook.

    GUARD senses the phone line and  resets the computer after the SELECTED
    RING COUNT! It  then deactivates itself for a period  of 3 1/2 minutes,
    thus allowing  plenty of time  for the computer  to reset and  "settle"
    back into  normal operation. Complete  instructions and all  components
    necessary for  proper installation and operation  of GUARD are supplied
    with the unit.

    BOTTOM LINE:

    GUARD is distributed  directly to Sysops at a cost  of $ 49.00 per unit
    INCLUDING  tax, shipping,  & handling.  A 90  day replacement  warranty
    comes with  each unit, as  well as  a  30 day money  back, no questions
    asked guarantee.
