Check out the Telcom reset devices.  They go for about $1.00US in
onesies, down to $0.75US in 100's.  Digikey stocks them, too.

They come in several voltage ranges and in active low/active high
variants.

One example is:

I use these when I don't want to spend $$ on a Maxim part and don't
really need a watchdog.
