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

In addition to the comments that follow, further information can be obtained
by referring to the management's discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations section included in the Form 10KSB,
filed for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Results of Operations:

Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were $1,203,354 an increase 
of $152,586 or 14.5% over revenues for the same period in 1995.  As a
percentage of revenues by product category for the first quarter 1996 vs. 1995
showed the QmodemPro line at 1% and 30%, the Wildcat! line at 96% and 63%, and
other products at 3% and 7%, respectively.  The increase in Wildcat! revenues
was directly related to the release of Wildcat! version 5 in March 1996.  

Gross profit for the quarter increased from $860,138 in 1995 to $985,618 
in 1996, and increased as a percentage of revenues from 81.8% in 1995 to 81.9%
in 1996.  Gross profit percentage has averaged between 80-84% over the last 
three calendar years. 

Research and development expenses increased $68,454 in the first quarter of 
1996 from 1995, and increased as a percentage of revenues from 12.7% in 1995 
to 16.8% in 1996. Research and development is concentrated in Windows NT and 
Windows 95 and directly targets the expanded use of international networks,
including the Internet. The Company expects that the release of Windows 95
by Microsoft will generate demand for products capable of making use of its
new features, and has devoted a substantial portion of its research and 
development expenditures to such products.   The headcount in this department
increased from 11 to 14 in 1995 to 1996, respectively.

Selling and marketing expenses for the quarter were $896,004, an increase of 
$634,126 over the same quarter the previous year, and they increased as a 
percentage of revenues from 24.9% in 1995 to 74.4% in 1996.  The items
primarily attributing to the increase were advertising and promotional costs
of existing products and the launch of Wildcat! version 5 in March 1996. The
increase in headcount from 3 in 1995 to 17 in 1996, also contributed to the
increase.

General and administrative expenses increased for the quarter over the         
previous year, from $438,652 in 1995 to $613,482 in 1996, and increased as a
percentage of revenues, from 41.7% in 1995 to 50.9% in 1996.  The items 
primarily accounting for the increase were, insurance, investor relations,
 and legal and accounting expenses.  These increases were directly related 
to the Company going public in April 1995. The General and administrative 
headcount increased 27% from the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 1996 were approximately 
$5,038,000, an decrease of approximately $578,000  from December 31, 1995.
Accounts receivable increased approximately $113,000 in 1996. Accounts 
receivable average days to collect for the quarter ended March 31, 1995
and 1996 were 53 and 68 days, respectively.  Average days to collect in 
1995 was 50 days. Management's goal is to maintain receivable collection
days at or below 50 for 1996.  Inventory levels have increased $94,500 
in 1996 from December 31, 1995.  The increase is due to the introduction
of the two new product lines QmodemPro for Windows 95 in August 1995 and 
Wildcat! for Windows95/NT in March 1996.
 
Longer term cash requirements, other than normal operating expenses, are
anticipated for development of new software products and enhancements of 
existing products, launching new products and enhancements, financing 
anticipated growth and the possible acquisition of businesses, software
products or technologies complementary to the Company's business.  The 
Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable 
securities, cash generated from operations and available line of credit,
will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital and capital 
expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
