                    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, 1997.


Results of Operations:

Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

      Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 were $404,158 a 
decrease of $53,971 or 11.8% over revenues for the same period in 1997.  As a 
percentage of revenues by product category for the second quarter 1998 vs. 
1997 showed the Web Essentials line at 63% and 1%, the QmodemPro line at 7% 
and 9%, the Wildcat! line at 24% and 86%, and other products at 6% and 4%, 
respectively. The increase in sales of the Web Essentials line was due to 
increased acceptance of the Web Essentials products and the increase in 
products from 1 in 1997 to 3 in 1998.

      Gross profit for the quarter increased from $365,631 in 1997 to $370,719
in 1998, and increased as a percentage of revenues from 79.8% in 1997 to 91.7%
in 1998.  Gross profit percentage has averaged approximately 80 to 84% over 
the last three calendar years.  The increase in gross profit percentage is due
mainly to the increase in average selling price of the Company's products and 
maintaining the average cost per unit sold.

      Research and development expenses decreased $23,378 in the second 
quarter of 1998 from 1997, and decreased as a percentage of revenues from 
37.3% in 1997 to 36.5% in 1998. 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 has devoted and 
is devoting a substantial portion of its research and development resources 
to the Windows 95 and Windows NT environments and now offers a suite of Web 
server and internet/intranet utility applications for Windows 95 and Windows 
NT environments.  The headcount in this department decreased from 10 at 
June 30, 1997 to 8 at June 30, 1998. The headcount reduction accounts for the 
majority of the decrease.

      Selling and marketing expenses for the quarter were $223,075, an 
increase of $17,122 over the same quarter the previous year, and they increased
as a percentage of revenues from 45.0% in 1997 to 55.2% in 1998. The items 
primarily accounting for the increase were the advertising and promotional 
costs for the new Web Essentials line of products and an increase in the 
number of trade shows attended in 1998 as compared to 1997. 

      General and administrative expenses decreased for the 1998 quarter 
compared to the previous year, from $363,057 in 1997 to $306,713 in 1998, 
and decreased as a percentage of revenues, from 79.2% in 1997 to 75.9% in 
1998. The items primarily accounting for the decrease were salaries and costs 
associated with employee benefits.  The General and administrative headcount 
decreased 11% from the prior year.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

      Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $802,638, a decrease
of $455,412 or 36.2% over revenues for the same period in the prior year.  As 
a percentage of revenues by product category showed the Web Essentials line at
48% and 0%, the QmodemPro line at 8% and 13%, the Wildcat! line at 39% and 
84%, and other at 5% and 3% for the first six months of 1998 and 1997, 
respectively. The increase in sales of the Web Essentials line was due to 
increased acceptance of the Web Essentials products and the increase in 
products from 1 in 1997 to 3 in 1998.

      Gross profit for the first six months decreased from $1,043,186 in 1997 
to $702,790 in 1998, but increased as a percentage of revenues from 82.9% in 
1997 to 87.6% in 1998. Gross profit percentage has averaged approximately 80 
to 84% over the last three calendar years.  The increase in Gross Profit 
percentage from 1997 to 1998 is due mainly to the increase in sales of the 
Web Essentials line.  The Web Essentials line of products has higher average 
selling prices and gross profit percentages than the Company's previous lines 
of products.

      Research and development expenses decreased $40,532 in the first six 
months of 1998 from 1997, but increased as a percentage of revenues from 
27.2% in 1997 to 37.6% in 1998. To maintain its competitive market position, 
the Company expects to invest a significant amount of its resources for the 
development of new products and product enhancements. 

      Selling and marketing expenses for the first six months of 1998 
decreased $64,300 over the same period the previous year, from $534,393 to 
$470,093. As a percentage of revenues selling and marketing expenses increased 
from 42.5% in 1997 to 58.6% in 1998.  The items primarily accounting for the 
increase was the advertising and promotional costs for the new Web Essentials 
line of products and an increase in the number of trade shows attended in 
1998 as compared to 1997. 

      General and administrative expenses decreased $97,397 in the first six 
months of 1998 from $784,920 in 1997 to $687,523 in 1998, but as a percentage 
of revenues increased from 62.4% in 1997 to 85.7% in 1998. The items primarily
accounting for the decrease in actual dollars spent were due to reduction in 
salaries and costs associated with employee benefits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 1998 were 
approximately $697,000, a decrease of approximately $706,000 from December 31,
1997. Accounts receivable increased approximately $129,000 and Accounts 
Payable decreased approximately $84,000 in 1998. Accounts receivable average 
days to collect for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 and 1998 were 64 and 48 
days, respectively.  Average days to collect in 1997 were 64 days.  
Management's goal is to maintain receivable collection days at or below 50 
for 1998.  Inventory levels have decreased approximately $69,000 in 1998 from 
December 31, 1997.  As well as accrued liabilities have decreased 
approximately $50,000.

      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 intends to meet its long-term liquidity needs through 
available cash and cash flow as well as through financing from outside sources.
The Company is actively seeking to raise additional capital and has made 
arrangements to raise funds through a private placement of securities that 
will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be 
offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable 
exemption from registration requirements. However, there can be no assurance 
that the Company will be successful in completing the private placement or 
otherwise raising additional capital. Further, there can be no assurance, 
assuming the Company successfully raises additional funds, that the Company 
will achieve profitability or positive cash flows. If the Company is not 
successful in raising additional funds, it appears it will be forced to 
further curtail the scope of its operations.
