FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Xircom Announces Second-Quarter 2000 Results

Reports Revenues of $111.2 Million and Earnings of $.36 Per Share, Excluding
Unusual Items and Acquisition-Related Costs

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., April 17, 2000 -- Xircom, Inc. (Nasdaq: XIRC) today
reported net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 ended March 31, 2000,
of $111.2 million, compared to $101.9 million for the same period last year.
Net income, excluding unusual items and acquisition-related costs, was $11.4
million, or $.36 per share, compared to $9.5 million, or $.37 per share, for the
same period last year.  Net sales for the first six months of 2000 totaled
$235.4 million, compared to the $200.4 million reported for the same period last
year, and net income, excluding unusual items and acquisition-related costs, was
$26.7 million, or $.90 per share, compared to $17.1 million, or $.67 per share,
for the same period last year.

          Including unusual items and acquisition-related costs, net income was
$7.8 million, or $.25 per share, for the second quarter of 2000, and $20.6
million, or $.69 per share, for the first six months of 2000.  Unusual items
consist of a provision for customer insolvency of $4.2 million in the second
quarter of 2000 related to the bankruptcy filings of MicroAge, Inc. in the
United States and two European subsidiaries of CHS Electronics, Inc., and non-
recurring transaction and transition charges of $2.9 million in the first
quarter of 2000 from the acquisition of Entrega Technologies, Inc.  Acquisition-
related costs consist of ongoing amortization of goodwill and other acquisition-
related intangibles from the purchase of the Rex(R) product line, which amounted
to $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2000 and $1.2 million in the first six
months of 2000.

     "After a slow start to the quarter, in March we saw a significant increase
in sell-through to our large enterprise customers and we won a number of high
volume customer deals that should begin shipping during the June quarter," said
Dirk Gates, Xircom chairman, president and chief executive officer.  "We also
continued our tradition of product innovation with two major product
announcements during the quarter.  RealPort2(TM) Integrated PC Cards combine our
patented Integrated Connector System with the flexibility to mix-and-match
technologies, while our new NetStation(TM) product is the first all-in-one
conference room networking solution.  In addition, we broadened our offerings
for the growing population of handheld users with new CompactCard(TM) products
and demonstrated a wireless SpringBoard(TM) expansion module for the new
Handspring(TM) Visor(TM)."
