The Board of Directors 
Data Race, Inc.

We consent to the use of our report incorporated herein by reference and to the 
reference to our firm under the heading "Experts" in the prospectus.

Our report dated September 2, 1998 contains an explanatory paragraph that 
states that the Company has suffered recurring losses and incurred negative cash
flows form operations, which conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that
uncertainty.
