          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                       

Net Sales - In the first quarter of fiscal 1996, net sales increased by
$7,240,000, or 34%, from the same period in fiscal 1995.  The increase was
primarily attributable to increased sales of central site remote network access
products, particularly the Company's High Density Management System (HDMS).  A
significant portion of HDMS sales were made to Sprint Corporation, which
accounted for 24% of net sales, and another major telecommunications carrier
which accounted for 12% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
Sales of the Company's V.34 modems increased by approximately $3,700,000, as
compared to the previous fiscal year.

International sales were $8,644,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996,
representing 30% of net sales, as compared to $4,086,000 in the first quarter
of fiscal 1995, or 19% of net sales.  The increase in fiscal 1996 international
sales was primarily due to increased modem sales.

Gross Margin - Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 45% in the first
quarter of both fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995.

Research and Development - Research and development costs in the first quarter
of fiscal 1996 were $3,378,000 as compared to $2,214,000 in the first quarter
of fiscal 1995.  As a percentage of net sales, research and development
expenses increased to 12% in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 from 10% in the
comparable period of the previous fiscal year.  The increase in research and
development expenses was principally due to the hiring of additional
engineering personnel and increased consulting and contract professional fees
relating to continued product development.

Sales and Marketing - In the first quarter of fiscal 1996, sales and marketing
expenses increased by $360,000, or 7%, over the same period in fiscal 1995 due
to increased variable selling expenses resulting from increased net sales.  As
a percentage of net sales, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 18% in the
first quarter of fiscal 1996 from 23% in the prior fiscal year as net sales
increased at a higher rate than sales and marketing expenses.

General and Administrative - In the first quarter of fiscal 1996, general and
administrative expenses were $1,129,000, or 4% of net sales, as compared to
$1,103,000, or 5% of net sales, in the prior fiscal year.  The decrease in such
expenses as a percentage of net sales was the result of the Company increasing
net sales at a higher rate than general and administrative expenses.

Interest Income and Expense - Interest income decreased in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 by $56,000 and interest and other expense increased by $454,000 to
$588,000.  The increase in interest and other expense was primarily a result of
interest paid on increased borrowings under the Company's revolving credit
facility.

Income Taxes -  The Company's effective tax rate was 15% for both periods
reported.  The difference between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate
reflects the utilization of a portion of the Company's net operating loss carry
forwards.  At March 31, 1995, the Company had available $21,509,000 in net
operating loss carry forwards, which may be used to offset future taxable
income, and $3,959,000 in research and development credit carry forwards, which
may be used to offset future taxes payable.  These carry forwards expire
through 2009 and are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal
Revenue Service.

Net Income and Net Income Per Share - For the reasons stated above, net income
for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was $2,115,000 as compared to net income
of $1,176,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1995, and net income per share
for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was $.17 as compared to $.11 for the first
quarter of fiscal 1995.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On June 28, 1995, the Company completed a public offering of 3,480,000 shares
of its common stock at $15.625 per share.  The proceeds to the Company after
deducting underwriting commissions and other expenses of the offering were
$50,418,000.  Approximately $12,000,000 of the offering proceeds was used to
repay the indebtedness under the Company's credit facility.

As of June 30, 1995, the Company had $44,082,000 in cash and equivalents.  In
addition, the Company had a bank revolving credit facility which allowed the
Company to borrow up to an amount (the "Maximum Borrowing Amount") equal to the
lesser of (i) $16,000,000 or (ii) an amount based on the Company's eligible
accounts receivable and inventory.  The Maximum Borrowing Amount is reduced by
amounts which may be drawn on outstanding letters of credit and bankers'
acceptances and by a percentage of the Company's exposure under foreign
currency exchange contracts.  Interest on borrowings is at the banks' prime
rate (9% at June 30, 1995) plus 2%.  At June 30, 1995, the Company was
contingently liable with respect to $6,687,000 in outstanding letters of credit
and its bank credit availability was approximately $9,290,000.  Under the terms
of the credit facility, which expires in March 1996 and is secured by
substantially all of the Company's assets, the Company is required to comply
with certain covenants, including maintaining minimum levels of profitability,
tangible net worth and liquidity and not exceeding specified debt to net worth
ratios.  The terms of the credit facility also prohibit the Company from paying
cash dividends.  At June 30, 1995 the Company was in compliance with all
covenants.

Since its inception, the Company has met its liquidity requirements through
cash provided by operations, product line dispositions, public and private
stock offerings, lease arrangements for facilities and equipment and short-term
borrowings from banks.  Management believes that its cash and equivalents, line
of credit availability, and cash provided by operations will be adequate to
meet the Company's liquidity requirements through fiscal 1997.

FOREIGN CURRENCY HEDGING

To date, all of the Company's transactions (including customer sales and
purchases from vendors) have been denominated in U.S. dollars, except for an
immaterial amount of customer sales denominated in U.K. pounds sterling.  The
Company has hedged the currency risk associated with these foreign sales by
entering into forward contracts.  The gains or losses on such contracts are
deferred until the contracts are settled and are then recognized as other
income or expense.  The Company had $115,000 and $375,000 in foreign currency
contracts at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The Company had no material
unrealized gains or losses on these contracts.
