         Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

When used herein,  the words "believe,"  "anticipate,"  "think," "intend," "will
be," "expect" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements within
the  meaning of the  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act of 1995.  Such
statements are not guarantees of future  performance  and involve  certain risks
and  uncertainties  discussed herein and under the caption "Risk Factors" in our
Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31,  1999,  which could
cause  actual  results to differ  materially  from those in the  forward-looking
statements.   Readers  are  cautioned  not  to  place  undue   reliance  on  the
forward-looking statements,  which speak only as of the date hereof. Readers are
also urged carefully to review and consider the various  disclosures  made by us
which  attempt to advise  interested  parties of the  factors  which  affect our
business,  including, without limitation, the disclosures made under the caption
"Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation." All references to a
fiscal year are to our fiscal year, which ends December 31.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales during the second  quarter ended June 30, 2000 increased 15% to $1,570,600
compared to sales of  $1,362,966  for the same period in 1999.  The  increase in
sales was  primarily  due to an increase in sales of our DSL Test  Equipment and
Short haul modem product lines.

Cost of sales for the second  quarter of $695,498 (or 44.3% of sales)  increased
compared to the $620,941 (or 45.6% of sales) during the same period in 1999. The
increase in our profit  margin  percentage  was  primarily a function of product
mix.

Selling,  general and  administrative  costs for the second  quarter of $442,292
decreased  by $62,663  from  $504,955  during the  second  quarter of 1999.  The
decrease  during the second quarter was due primarily to our change in marketing
strategy.  The Company saw no need to print and distribute a new product catalog
during  this  quarter,  as was done in the  second  quarter of 1999 at a cost of
approximately $65,000.  However, the Company expects to print and distribute its
next product catalog during the first half of 2001.

The  Company's  marketing  focus has shifted  toward a stronger  presence on the
Internet,  at trade  shows  and at  industry  and  standards  organizations.  In
particular,  the Company incorporated a "live" net agent capability feature into
its web site.  This  allows a  Company's  sales  representative  to  respond  to
customer  inquiries  through an instant messaging feature in real time. In terms
of timely  responsiveness the Company considers it a great improvement over both
telephone and e-mail  interaction.  The Company initiated the translation of the
product  description web pages into Spanish.  This is a first step to a complete
"internationalization"  of its web site. The Company participated in major trade
shows for its  Digital  Subscriber  Line  products.  Such trade  shows were both
within and outside of the United  States.  The Company became active in industry
and standards groups  associated with its products such as the DSL Forum and the
VDSL Coalition.

Research and development  expenses for the second quarter of $130,128  decreased
by $19,640  from  $149,768  during the same  quarter in 1999.  During the second
quarter,  we continued the development of our Universal Serial Bus (USB) product
line and expect to introduce our first USB products during the fourth quarter of
2000.  The USB products that should be introduced in the fourth  quarter of 2000
include a USB-to-EIA 232 converter,  a USB-to-RS 422 converter,  a USB-to-RS 485
converter and a USB-to-Fiber converter. The Company continued the development of
a multi-line wire line simulator,  which can simulate up to 16 local loops up to
20,500 feet each. We expect to release this new product to production during the
third quarter of 2000.

Interest  income  increased to $5,814 during the second quarter of 2000 compared
to $313 for the same period in 1999.  This  increase in interest  income was due
primarily  to higher  levels of cash on  deposit.  During the second  quarter of
2000,  we had rental  income of $12,049,  which was in line with the  comparable
quarter of 1999.

The effective tax rate in first quarter of 2000 was 38.6%,  compared with 36.2 %
in same quarter in 1999.

The net earnings of $182,950 or $.12 diluted per share for the second quarter of
2000  increased 315% compared to the net earnings of $44,139 or $.03 diluted per
share in the same quarter in 1999. The increase in  profitability  is attributed
to the increase in sales during the second  quarter of 2000 and the reduction of
overall expenses resulting from the  re-organization of the Company initiated in
January of 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000
was  $510,789  compared  to net cash  provided  of $11,709 in the same period of
1999.  This change was due to an  increase  in net  earnings  and  decreases  in
accounts receivable, inventories and prepaid expenses.

Working  capital  increased  as of June  30,  2000 by  $312,604  to  $2,579,561,
compared with  $2,266,957  from December 31, 1999.  The current ratio as of June
30, 2000 increased to 5.4:1 compared to 4.4:1 as of December 31, 1999.

We have an agreement with a financial institution, which provides us with a line
of  credit of up to  $500,000  based on our  eligible  accounts  receivable  and
purchased components and materials and finished goods inventories, as defined in
the agreement.  Further, the agreement contains certain financial covenants that
require  us to  maintain  a minimum  level of  tangible  net  worth  and  places
limitations on the ratio of our total debt to our tangible net worth, as defined
in the  agreement.  Borrowings  under the line of credit  bear  interest  at the
bank's  specified  prime rate plus .75%.  There was no outstanding  indebtedness
under this line of credit as of June 30, 2000.

In January 1999, we secured an additional reducing revolving line of credit from
the same  institution  that  provides for initial  borrowings up to a maximum of
$1,000,000.  Availability  under the reducing revolving line of credit decreases
by  approximately  $11,900  per  month,  and  the  line  expires  January  2006.
Availability  under  this  line at June  30,  2000 was  approximately  $565,280.
Borrowings  under this loan  agreement  bear  interest at the 30-Day  Commercial
Paper Rate plus 2.90%. Net borrowings under this line of credit totaled $232,335
at June 30, 2000.

We  believe  that  cash  generated  by our  operations,  current  cash  and cash
equivalents,  and the lines of credit should supply sufficient cash resources to
meet our cash needs for the next 12 months.
