            Telxon Corporation, The Retail Technology Group, Inc. and
      Telxon Systems Services, Inc. hereby amend the Schedule 13D
      originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
      November 22, 1999 and amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, filed on
      November 23, 1999 (the "Schedule 13D"). Capitalized terms used but
      not defined in this Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D shall have
      the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 2.           IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

      Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:

            (a) The names of the persons filing this statement are Telxon
      Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Telxon"), The Retail Technology
      Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of
      Telxon ("Retail Group") and Telxon Systems Services, Inc., a Delaware
      corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Retail Group
      ("Services"). Set forth on Annex A to this Schedule 13D is a list of
      the directors and executive officers of Telxon, Retail Group and
      Services (collectively, the "Directors and Officers") and the present
      principal occupation of each of the Directors and Officers.

            (b) The address of the principal office and place of business
      of Telxon, Retail Group and Services is 1000 Summit Drive,
      Cincinnati, Ohio 45150.

            (c) Telxon designs, manufactures, integrates, markets and
      supports transaction- based mobile information systems. Retail Group
      has no operations other than its ownership of Services. In addition
      to owning Issuer Common Stock, Services is engaged in the repair of
      mobile computing products and the leasing of furniture and equipment
      used in software development.

            (d) During the past five years, neither Telxon, Retail Group or
      Services, nor, to their knowledge, any of the Directors and Officers,
      has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
      violations or similar misdemeanors).

            (e) During the past five years, neither Telxon, Retail Group,
      or Services, nor, to their knowledge, any of the Directors and
      Officers, was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
      administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which
      such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order
      enjoining future violations of or prohibiting or mandating activity
      subject to federal or state securities laws or finding any violation
      with respect to such laws.

            (f) Telxon, Retail Group and Services are all Delaware
      corporations. Each of the Directors and Officers is a United States
      citizen, except for Peter A. Lomax who is a citizen of the United
      Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.


ITEM 3.           SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

      Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:

            The Issuer was incorporated in 1993 as a wholly owned
      subsidiary of Telxon. Following the initial public offering of Issuer
      Common Stock on July 30, 1999, Telxon owned approximately 35.1% of
      the outstanding Issuer Common Stock. On November 12, 1999, Telxon
      contributed all of its Issuer Common Stock to Retail Group. On March
      14, 2000, Retail Group contributed all of its shares of Issuer Common
      Stock to Services.

ITEM 4.           PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

      Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:

            (a) - (b) In connection with business and financial planning
      with respect to the transactions provided for in the Agreement and
      Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as
      of November 8, 1999, by and among Cisco Systems, Inc., a California
      corporation ("Cisco"), Osprey Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware
      corporation ("Osprey"), and the Issuer, Telxon contributed all of its
      shares of Issuer Common Stock to Retail Group on November 12, 1999,
      and Retail Group contributed all of its shares of Issuer Common Stock
      to Services on March 14, 2000. Pursuant to the terms of the merger
      provided for in the Merger Agreement, which merger became effective
      on March 15, 2000 as of the close of trading on the National
      Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System, on
      which the Issuer Common Stock was traded, all of the Issuer's Common
      Stock was converted into the right to receive Cisco common stock at
      the exchange rate set forth in the Merger Agreement. Accordingly,
      Telxon, Retail Group and Services no longer own any shares of Issuer
      Common Stock. The Merger Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1 to the
      Schedule 13D filed by Cisco on November 18, 1999 and is incorporated
      herein in its entirety by reference.

            (c) Not applicable.

            (d) Not applicable.

            (e) Not applicable.

            (f) Not applicable.

            (g) Not applicable.

            (h) Not applicable.

            (i) Not applicable.

            (j) Other than as described above, Telxon, Retail Group and
      Services currently have no plans or proposals which related to, or
      may result in, any action similar to any of those enumerated in Items
      4(a) - (j) of Schedule 13D.


ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

      Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety to
read as follows:

            (a) - (b) Telxon, Retail Group and Services do not own any
      shares of Issuer Common Stock, and none of Telxon, Retail Group or
      Services may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of any shares of
      Issuer Common Stock.

            Pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement, dated November 8, 1999,
      among Cisco, Osprey and Telxon, the Joinder to the Stockholder
      Agreement, dated November 8, 1999, and the Joinder to the Stockholder
      Agreement, dated March 14, 2000 by and among Cisco, Osprey, Retail
      Group and Services (hereinafter together referred to as the
      "Stockholder Agreements"), Telxon, Retail Group and Services could
      not transfer any of their shares of Issuer Common Stock prior to the
      earlier to occur of (i) such date and time as the merger of the
      Issuer with Osprey became effective in accordance with the terms and
      provisions of the Merger Agreement and (ii) the date of the
      termination of the Merger Agreement.

            Pursuant to the Stockholder Agreements, from November 8, 1999
      through March 14, 2000 Retail Group and Cisco, and from March 14,
      2000 through March 15, 2000 Services and Cisco had shared power to
      direct the vote of 4,994,262 shares of Issuer Common Stock held by
      Retail Group and Services (the "Shares"). Pursuant to the Stockholder
      Agreements, Telxon, Retail Group and Services irrevocably appointed
      Cisco (or any nominee of Cisco) as their lawful attorney and proxy
      with respect to the Shares. This proxy gave Cisco the limited right
      to vote all of the Shares (i) in favor of approval of the Merger
      Agreement and (ii) against any proposal for any recapitalization,
      merger, sale of assets or other business combination between the
      Issuer and any person or entity other than Cisco or Osprey or any
      other action or agreement that would result in a breach of any
      covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or
      agreement of the Issuer under the Merger Agreement or which could
      result in any of the conditions to Issuer's obligations under the
      Merger Agreement not being fulfilled. Under their respective
      Stockholder Agreements, Telxon, Retail Group and Services retained the
      power to vote the Shares of Issuer Common Stock on all other matters.
      The Stockholder Agreements and the related proxies terminated upon
      such date and time as the merger of the Issuer with Osprey became
      effective in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Merger
      Agreement. The foregoing summary of the Stockholder Agreements and
      the related proxies is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
      copies of the Stockholder Agreements included as Exhibit 1.2, Exhibit
      1.3 and Exhibit 1.6 to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein in
      their entirety by reference.

            As a result of the Stockholder Agreements and various other
      stockholder agreements entered into by Cisco, Osprey and the Issuer
      in connection with the Merger Agreement, Telxon, Retail Group and
      Services may have been deemed to be the beneficial owners of at least
      7,253,181 shares of Issuer Common Stock held in the aggregate by
      stockholders of the Issuer who had entered into such stockholders
      agreements. Telxon, Retail Group and Services disclaim beneficial
      ownership of these securities other than the Shares. As a result of
      the Stockholder Agreements and such other stockholder agreements,
      Telxon, Retail Group and Services may have been deemed to be members
      of a group as set forth in Rule 13d-5, under the Securities Exchange
      Act of 1934, as amended, however, Telxon, Retail Group and Services
      disclaim membership in any such group.

            None of the Directors and Officers directly owns any securities
      of the Issuer. Telxon, Retail Group and Services have been advised by
      each of the Directors and Officers that such Directors and Officers
      disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares of Issuer Common Stock
      from time to time owned directly or beneficially by Telxon, Retail
      Group or Services.

            (c) Other than as set forth above in this Schedule 13D, neither
      Telxon, Retail Group or Services, nor, to their knowledge, any of the
      Directors and Officers, has effected any transaction in the Issuer
      Common Stock during the past 60 days.

ITEM 6.           CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS
                  WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

      Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety to
read as follows:

            Other than as set forth above in this Schedule 13D, to the
      knowledge of Telxon, Retail Group and Services, there are no
      contracts, arrangements, understandings of relationships (legal or
      otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such persons
      and any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer,
      including but not limited to transfer of voting of any of the
      securities, finders' fees, joint ventures, loan or option
      arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of
      profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, except
      standard default and similar provisions contained in loan agreements.

ITEM 7.           MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

      Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

Exhibit No. Description

1.5         Joint Filing Agreement, dated as of March 17, 2000, by and

            Retail Group.

1.6         Joinder to the Stockholder Agreement, dated as of March 14,
            2000, by and among Cisco Systems, Inc., a California
            corporation ("Cisco"), Osprey Acquisition Corporation, a

                      JOINDER TO STOCKHOLDER AGREEMENT
                      (TELXON SYSTEMS SERVICES, INC.)



           THIS JOINDER TO STOCKHOLDER AGREEMENT is made as of March

 respect to the Stockholder Agreement (the "Stockholder Agreement"), dated
 as of November 8, 1999, between Cisco Systems, Inc., a California
 corporation ("Parent"), Osprey Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware
 corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), and
 Telxon, by the terms of which agreement Assignor has heretofore agreed to
 be bound as set for in a Joinder to Stockholder Agreement dated as of
 November 8, 1999 (the "Prior Joinder").

                                 RECITALS:

           WHEREAS, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and
 Reorganization (such agreement, as it may be amended or restated, is
 hereinafter referred to as the "Reorganization Agreement"), dated as of
 November 8, 1999, by and among Parent, Merger Sub, and Aironet Wireless
 Communications, Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of Delaware
 ("Company"), Parent has agreed to acquire the outstanding securities of
 Company pursuant to a statutory merger of Merger Sub with and into Company
 (the "Merger") effected in part through the conversion of each outstanding
 share of capital stock of Company (the "Company Capital Stock"), into
 shares of common stock of Parent (the "Parent Shares") at the rate set
 forth in the Reorganization Agreement (the "Transaction");

           WHEREAS, in order to induce Parent to enter into the Transaction,
 Company has agreed to use its best efforts to solicit the proxy of certain
 stockholders of Company on behalf of Parent, and to cause certain
 stockholders of Company to execute and deliver Stockholder Agreements to
 Parent;

           WHEREAS, as of the time of the entry of the parties into the
 Reorganization Agreement, Telxon owned of record 4,994,262 shares of the
 outstanding Company Capital Stock (the "Shares");

           WHEREAS, in order to induce Parent to enter into the Transaction,
 Telxon entered into the Stockholder Agreement, under which Telxon, among
 other things, agreed not to transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the
 Shares, or any other shares of Company Capital Stock acquired by such
 stockholder prior to the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 1.1 of the
 Stockholder Agreement), and also agreed to vote the Shares and any other
 such shares of Company Capital Stock so as to facilitate consummation of
 the Transaction;

           WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.2 of the Stockholder Agreement,
 Telxon has heretofore assigned the Shares to Assignor upon the written
 agreement of Assignor, as required by said Section 9.2 and set forth in the
 Prior Joinder, to be bound by the terms of the Stockholder Agreement with
 the same force and effect as if it were Telxon and Assignor's execution and
 delivery to Parent of an Irrevocable Proxy in substantially the same form
 as executed by Telxon pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement;

           WHEREAS, as the holder of record of the Shares as of the record
 date for the approval of the Merger by the Company's stockholders, Assignor
 has, consistent with its obligations under the Prior Joinder and the
 Irrevocable Proxy delivered pursuant thereto,  heretofore executed and
 delivered a duly executed proxy in favor of the Merger in the form
 solicited by the Company from all of its stockholders with respect thereto
 (the "Merger Proxy"); and

           WHEREAS, Assignor desires to further assign the Shares to
 Assignee (the "Further Transfer") with the prior written consent of Parent
 and Merger Sub in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Stockholder Agreement.

           NOW, THEREFORE, Assignee agrees that, effective upon the written
 consent of Parent and Merger Sub to the Further Transfer and the effecting
 thereof pursuant to such consent:

           1.   Assignee shall be bound by the terms of the Stockholder
 Agreement with the same force and effect as if it were Assignor.

           2.   Assignee agrees to execute and deliver, and
 contemporaneously is delivering, a duly executed Irrevocable Proxy in
 substantially the same form as executed by Assignor pursuant to the Prior
 Joinder, with Assignor and Assignee hereby acknowledging and agreeing that
 neither this Joinder and the consent of Parent and Merger Sub thereto, nor
 the delivery of such Irrevocable Proxy by Assignee, shall be deemed for any
 purpose to revoke or otherwise affect the effectiveness of the Merger
 Proxy.


                         [signature page follows.]


           IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Joinder to
 Stockholder Agreement to be executed as of the date first above written.
