4.  New Accounting Pronouncements:

      In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
128, "Earnings per Share," which is effective for periods ending after December

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
         Results of Operations

This report contains certain statements of a forward-looking nature relating to
future events or the future performance of the Company. Prospective and current
investors are cautioned that such statements are only predictions and that
actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating such statements as
well as the future prospects of the Company generally, such investors should
specifically consider various factors identified in the Company's Report on Form
10-K for the period ended December 31, 1996, including the matters set forth
therein under the caption "Risk Factors," which could cause actual results to
differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

The Company manufactures and sells Network Information Computers, has
developed prototypes of certain Remote Access Agents and has other products in
design and development. The Company's products are based on the Company's core
software, firmware and hardware technology which was developed over a five year
period. In February 1996, the Company commenced sales of the ASA 312. To date,
the Company has not entered into long term agreements or blanket purchase orders
for the sale of its products, but generally obtains purchase orders for
immediate shipment and other cancelable purchase commitments. The Company's
sales during a particular quarter are, therefore, highly dependent upon orders
placed by customers during the quarter. Consequently, sales may fluctuate
significantly from quarter to quarter due to the timing and amount of orders
from customers, among other factors.

Gross profit may be affected in the future by the introduction of new products
which generate differing gross margins and by the sales mix during a given
period. The Company plans to pursue Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) 
relationships with respect to the sale of Remote Access Agents. The
Company has not negotiated any such arrangements but anticipates that its
pricing to OEMs would be less than with respect to direct sales resulting in
lower gross margins in connection with these arrangements. However, sales and
marketing expenses are generally lower in the case of sales to OEMs.

The Company believes that its operating expenses will continue to increase as a
result of a variety of factors including: (i) increased research and development
expenses associated with the completion of the products in development and the
continued enhancement of existing products; and (ii) increased selling, general
and administrative expenses associated with continued expansion of sales and
marketing capabilities, product advertising and promotion. The Company
recognizes research and development expenses when incurred.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the second quarter 1997 were $5.3 million, an increase of 370%
over net sales of $1.1 million for the second quarter 1996.  Net sales for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 were $6.8 million compared to $1.3 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Net sales during both periods consisted of
domestic sales of the Company's ASA 312 Network Information Computers.

A significant portion of second quarter 1997 sales resulted from business with 
new customers and sales of ATM software upgrades for the Network Information
Computers which were released during second quarter 1997.

Gross profit was 70% for the second quarter 1997 compared to 65% for the second
quarter 1996. Gross profit was 68% for the six months ended June 30, 1997
compared to 60% for the six months ended June 10, 1996.  The increases in the
gross profit percentage for both periods resulted primarily from the benefit of
allocating fixed production costs over a larger sales base and, to a lesser
extent, to component cost reductions gained from purchasing larger lot sizes.

Operating expenses of $2.9 million for second quarter 1997 increased 163% from
$1.1 million for second quarter 1996.  Operating expenses were $5.4 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 an increase of 173% over operating expenses
of $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The increases in
operating expenses for both periods reflect the Company's growth and 
emergence from the development stage.  Head count and related expenses grew to
support and service the marketing, sales and manufacturing of the Company's
products.

Engineering and development expenses increased 82% to $948,000 in the second
quarter 1997 from $522,000 in the second quarter 1996.  Engineering and
development expenses were $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
an increase of 85% over operating expenses of $1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996.  The increases in both periods were due primarily to the 
addition of engineering personnel and expenses as the company continued to
invest in the enhancement of its existing products and the development of its
Remote Access Agents.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 215% to $1.2 million in the second
quarter 1997 from $374,000 in the second quarter 1996.  Sales and marketing
expenses were $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, a 347%
increase over sales and marketing expenses of $460,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996.  The increases in both periods were due primarily to expenses
associated with: (i) a regional direct sales force (which was in place in the
1997 period but not the 1996 period); (ii) increased commissions related to
increased sales; (iii) expenses associated with marketing personnel (who were
in place in the 1997 period but not the 1996 period); (iv) expenses associated
with attendance at a greater number of trade shows; and (v) additional expenses
associated with the Company's OEM Marketing Group, which was established during
the first quarter 1997.

The Company anticipates sales and marketing expenses to increase substantially
as the Company pursues its strategy of increasing its direct sales capabilities
and seeks other sales channels for its products.

General and administrative expenses increased 266% to $795,000 in the second
quarter 1997 from $217,000 in the second quarter 1996.  General and
administrative expenses were $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997, a 185% increase over sales general and administrative expenses of
$552,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The increases in both periods
were primarily due to the expansion of facilities, personnel and systems to
support the growth of the Company's business.

Other income (net) was $539,000 in the second quarter 1997 compared to other
expense (net) of $85,000 in the second quarter 1996.  Other income (net) for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $832,000 compared to other expense (net)
of $392,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The income in 1997 is
primarily the result of interest income earned on the net proceeds from the
Company's Initial Public Offering in February 1997.  The expense in 1996
consisted primarily of interest expense on indebtedness retired later during
1996.

Net income (loss) per share increased from ($.02) per share for the second
quarter 1996 to $.05 per share for the second quarter 1997.  Net income (loss)
per share increased from ($.08) per share for the six months ended June 30,
1996 to $.00 per share for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The calculation
of the net income per share in the second quarter 1997 reflects a higher number
of shares outstanding as a result of the Initial Public Offering.  The
calculation is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock
and common stock equivalents outstanding during each respective period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1997 were $36.2 million compared to $1.2
million at December 31, 1996.  The increase was due primarily to net proceeds
of approximately $39.5 million upon the Company's completion of its Initial
Public Offering on February 6, 1997.

As of June 30, 1997, the Company's working capital was approximately $40.3
million.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997, capital expenditures were
approximately $1.5 million.  Future capital expenditures will depend on several
factors including timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to
existing products as well as continued product development efforts. The Company
believes that its available funds and anticipated cash flows from its
operations will satisfy the Company's projected working capital and capital
expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
