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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

Net Sales - Net sales for the three and nine month periods ended
December 31, 1995, were $39,977,000 and $101,341,000, respectively, a 73% and
51% increase from the same periods in fiscal 1995.  These increases were
primarily attributable to increased sales of remote site V.34 modem products
and central site remote network access products, particularly the High Density
Management Systems (HDMS).  International sales for the three and nine month
periods ended December 31, 1995, were $24,162,000 and $47,563,000,
respectively, as compared to $7,235,000 and $18,188,000 for the same periods
last year.  International sales for the three and nine month periods ended
December 31, 1995, were 60% and 47%, respectively, of net sales as compared to
31% and 27% for the same periods last year.  The increases in international
sales were primarily due to increased sales of remote site V.34 modem products.
For the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1995, sales to a
Japanese distributor accounted for 28% and 18% of net sales, respectively.

Gross Margin - Gross margins for the three and nine month periods ended
December 31, 1995, were 40% and 42%, respectively, of net sales, as compared to
45% for each of the same periods last year.  The decreases were primarily due
to unit sales of lower margin products increasing at a higher rate than the
growth of other higher margin products.  In the future, the Company expects
continued pressure on gross margins as a result of higher unit sales of lower
margin products.
        
Research and Development - During the three and nine month periods ended 
December 31, 1995, research and development costs increased $1,591,000 and 
$3,617,000, respectively, or 58% and 48% from the same periods last year. 
These increases reflect the Company's continued investment in new and existing
technologies. The increases were principally due to the hiring of additional
engineering personnel and increased consulting and contract fees. Research and
development costs were 11% of net sales for each of the three and nine months
ended December 31, 1995, as compared to 12% and 11%, respectively, in the
previous fiscal year.
        
Sales and Marketing - In the three and nine month periods ended 
December 31, 1995, sales and marketing expenses increased $1,806,000 and
$3,671,000, respectively, or 41% and 27% from the same periods last year.  The
increases were directly related to the expansion of the Company's international
distribution channels, coupled with additional marketing programs, primarily
advertising, and variable selling expenses from increased net sales.

General and Administrative - During the three and nine month periods ended 
December 31, 1995, general and administrative expenses increased $535,000 and 
$575,000, respectively, or 44% and 16% from the same periods last year. The 
increases were primarily due to increased personnel and operational costs.

Interest Income - In the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1995 
interest income increased by $336,000 and $812,000, respectively.  These 
increases were primarily due to the investment of the proceeds from the 
Company's public offering of common stock completed on June 28, 1995.

Interest and Other Expenses - During the three and nine month periods ended 
December 31, 1995, interest and other expenses decreased by $74,000 and 
increased by $528,000, respectively.  The increase during the nine month period
ended December 31, 1995 was primarily due to the utilization of the Company's
line of credit during the first three months of the year.  There were no
borrowings under the Company's line of credit at December 31, 1995.

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.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                 (CONTINUED)


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES    

On June 28, 1995, the Company completed a public offering of 3,480,000 shares 
of 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 were used to
repay indebtedness under the Company's credit facility.

As of December 31, 1995, the Company had $37,825,000 in cash and equivalents.  
On December 13, 1995, the Company amended its bank revolving credit facility, 
increasing the borrowing amount to $25,000,000 from $16,000,000.  The terms of 
the facility allow the Company to borrow up to an amount (the "Maximum 
Borrowing Amount") equal to the lesser of (i) $25,000,000 or (ii) an amount 
based on the Company's eligible accounts receivable.  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.  At December 31, 1995, the Company was contingently liable 
with respect to $9,030,000 in outstanding letters of credit and its bank credit 
availability was approximately $15,989,000. Under the terms of the credit 
facility, which expires in November 1996, the Company is required to comply 
with certain covenants.  At December 31, 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 for the immediate future.

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.

                    principal amount of the Line of Credit Loans for each day
                    from and including the date each such Line of Credit Loan
                    was made to but excluding the date the principal on such
                    line of credit loan is due (whether at maturity, by
                    acceleration or otherwise) at a fluctuating interest rate
                    per annum equal to the Prime Rate, which interest rate
                    shall change when the Prime Rate shall change such interest
                    shall be payable monthly in arrears on the fifth day of
                    each month commencing with the first such date hereafter
                    and when the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Line
                    of Credit Loans is due (whether at maturity, by

every kind and assents to any one or more extensions or postponements of the
