This is the Second Amendment to a statement on Schedule 13D
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on
July 7, 1995 by Ryback Management Corporation ("Ryback"), Lindner
Growth Fund ("Growth Fund") and Lindner Bulwark Fund ("Bulwark
Fund") with respect to the Common Stock (the "Stock") of AutoInfo,
Inc. (the "Issuer"). The First Amendment was filed with the SEC on
November 8, 1995.
The undersigned hereby amends Item 5 as follows:
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) Growth Fund beneficially owns 713,000 shares of Stock
(approximately 9.17% of the outstanding shares of Stock) and
Bulwark Fund beneficially owns 187,850 shares of Stock
(approximately 2.41% of the outstanding shares of Stock). Ryback,
in its capacity as investment adviser to Growth Fund and Bulwark
Fund, may be deemed beneficial owner of such shares. None of the
individuals identified in Item 2 is the beneficial owner of any
shares of Stock.
(b) Ryback has sole dispositive power and sole voting power with
respect to the shares owned by Growth Fund and Bulwark Fund.
(c) During the sixty days immediately preceding the date of this
filing, Ryback, Growth Fund and Bulwark Fund engaged in the
following transaction with respect to the Stock:
Trade Date Transaction Type Amount Price
- ---------- ---------------- ------ -----

The transaction described above was a broker transaction.
(d) No other persons are known to have the right to receive or the
power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from
the sale of Stock held by Growth Fund and Bulwark Fund.
(e) Other than Bulwark Fund, the reporting persons described in
this Schedule have not ceased to be beneficial owners of more than
5% of the outstanding shares of Stock. Bulwark Fund ceased to be
the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of
stock on July 17, 1995.

belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement
