Item 5.  	Other Events.

On March 10, 1998 Corcom, Inc. (the "Registrant") entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger by and among Communications Instruments, Inc., a North
Carolina corporation ("CII"), RF Acquisition Corp., an Illinois corporation
and wholly owned subsidiary of CII ("Merger Sub") and the Registrant (the
"Merger Agreement").   CII is owned by Code Hennessy & Simmons, LLC,  a
Chicago based private investment firm, and management.  Pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, (a) CII will acquire all of the Registrant's issued and
outstanding shares of common stock for $13.00 per share in cash, or
approximately $51.2 million, and (b) Merger Sub will merge with and into
Registrant (the "Merger"), with Registrant being the surviving corporation
in the Merger.

The closing of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions, including, among other matters, approval by the holders of
two-thirds of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the
Registrant, certain regulatory approvals and receipt by CII of debt financing
necessary to consummate the Merger, a commitment for which has been provided
by Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association.  This financing is
subject to certain conditions, including the execution of a definitive credit
agreement satisfactory to Bank of America.  A copy of the Merger Agreement is
attached as Exhibit 2.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference.

CII also entered into an agreement with Werner E. Neuman, the President and
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Registrant, and James A. Steinback,
a Director of the Registrant, whereby such individuals agreed to vote in favor
of the Merger.  These two individuals hold approximately 32% of the shares
outstanding.  A copy of this voting agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1
attached hereto and is hereby incorporated by reference.

A copy of the press release of the Registrant, dated March 11, 1998, is
attached as Exhibit 99.2 and is hereby incorporated by reference.
