ITEM 1.SECURITY AND ISSUER.

          The undersigned hereby amends the statement on Schedule 13D,
dated August 21, 1995, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated September 7,
1995, as amended by Amendment No. 2, dated September 27, 1995, as amended
by Amendment No. 3, dated October 11, 1995, as amended by Amendment No.
4, dated October 26, 1995,  as amended by Amendment No. 5, dated
November 10, 1995, as amended by Amendment No. 6, dated January 2, 1996,
as amended by Amendment No. 7, dated February 7, 1996, as amended by
Amendment No. 8, dated May 29, 1996, and as amended by Amendment No. 9,
dated July 2, 1996 (the "Statement"), filed by the undersigned relating
to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share of Penril DataComm
Networks, Inc., (the "Issuer") a Delaware corporation, as set forth
below.  Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein
shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Statement.

          Amendment No. 10 is being filed to correct the percentage
reported on Amendment No. 9. that the Reporting Persons beneficially
owned as of July 2, 1996.  The Reporting Persons calculated the
percentage set forth in Amendment No. 9 based on 10,543,369 Shares
outstanding as reported by the Issuer in the Issuer's 10-Q dated
April 30, 1996.  Subsequent to the filing of Amendment No. 9, the
Reporting Persons were informed by Issuer's counsel that the number of
outstanding Shares as of July 2, 1996 was 10,737,036 Shares as a result
of additional issuances of Shares on June 17, June 19 and June 20, 1996.
Based on the actual number of Shares outstanding as of July 2, 1996, the
percentage as of such date was 9.9%.  The percentage reported on
Amendment No. 10 is based on 10,752,636 shares of the Issuer outstanding
as of July 15, 1996.

ITEM 5.INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

          Item 5(a) of the Statement is hereby amended and restated to

               Reporting Persons, which constitute
               approximately 9.9% of the issued and outstanding
               Shares.
