ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein and the
Company's Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     REVENUES

     Total revenues increased 58% from $4.5 million in the three months ended
March 31, 1995 to $7.2 million in the same period in 1996.  Revenues for
services increased 49% from $3.4 million in the three months ended March 31,
1995 to $5.1 million in the same period in 1996, reflecting an increase in the
number of subscribers utilizing the Company's Value Added Network ("VAN"), as
well as increases in the average volume of transmissions by subscribers.
Revenues from software maintenance and implementation also increased,
reflecting primarily an increase in the number of customers.  Revenue from
software sales increased 85% from $1.1 million in the three months ended March
31, 1995 to $2.1 million in the same period in 1996.  This increase primarily
reflects the effect of $1.1 million in royalties for software products licensed
through the System Software Associates, Inc. ("SSA") agreement.

     DIRECT COSTS

     Direct costs for services increased from $909,000, or 27% of services
revenues, in the three months ended March 31, 1995, to $1.3 million, or 26% of
services revenues, in the three months ended March 31, 1996.  The decrease in
direct costs for services, as a percentage of services revenues, reflects
higher margins achieved from increased services revenues.  Direct costs for
software increased from $215,000, or 19% of software revenues, in the three
months ended March 31, 1995, to $485,000, or 23% of software revenues, in the
three months ended March 31, 1996.  The increase in direct costs for software,
as a percentage of software revenues, is primarily due to increased software
amortization, resulting from the SSA agreement.

SELLING AND MARKETING

     Selling and marketing expenses increased 55% from $963,000 in the three
months ended March 31, 1995 to $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31,
1996  As a percentage of revenues, selling and marketing expenses remained at
21% for both periods presented.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     General and administrative expenses increased 47% from $1.0 million in the
three months ended March 31, 1995 to $1.5 million in the three months ended
March 31, 1996. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased from 23%
of revenues in the three months ended March 31, 1995 to 21% of revenues in the
three months ended March 31,

1996.  The decrease as a percentage of revenues reflects efficiencies associated
with expanding the Company's operations and the effect of increases in software
and services revenue.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased from 3.3% of revenues in
the three months ended March 31, 1995 to 3.5% of revenues in the three months
ended March 31, 1996, as a result of increased revenues.

     PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

     Total expenditures for product development, including capitalized software
development costs, increased from $820,000 in the three months ended March 31,
1995 to $1.7 million in the same period in 1996.  The Company capitalized
product development costs of $18,000 and $827,000, respectively, in the three
months ended March 31, 1995 and the three months ended March 31, 1996, which
represented 2% and 49% of total expenditures for product development in these
respective periods.  As a percentage of total revenues, product development
costs decreased from 18% of revenues in the three months ended March 31, 1995
to 13% of revenues in the three months ended March 31, 1996.  This increase in
capitalized development costs between first quarter 1995 and 1996 and the
related decrease in software development costs as a percentage of revenue
reflects a higher level of capitalized product development expense due to
development activities on products which had reached technological feasibility.
Amortization of capitalized product development cost is charged to direct cost
of software revenues and totaled $122,000 and $378,000, respectively, in the
three months March 31, 1995 and the three months ended March 31, 1996.

CHARGE FOR PURCHASED IN-PROCESS PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

     The company incurred a $8,350,000 charge for acquired research and
development costs during the first quarter ended March 31, 1996.  In connection
with the acquisitions described above, the Company acquired in-process software
development for several software products.  Since the Company determined that
certain of the acquired technologies had not reached technological feasibility,
the Company expensed the position of the purchase price allocable to such
in-process product development.  (See Note 2.)

     EQUITY IN LOSSES OF JOINT VENTURES

     The Company recognized equity in losses of Harbinger NV of $90,000 in the
three months ended March 31, 1995, as compared to a corresponding loss of
$69,000 from its investment in Harbinger NV in the three months ended March 31,
1996.  The equity in losses of HNS for the three months ended March 31, 1995
totaled $51,000 as compared to a corresponding loss of $1.1 million in the three
months ended March 31, 1996.  This increase primarily reflects increased
activities by HNS related to additional head count to support product
development and product marketing.

INTEREST INCOME

     The Company recorded interest income, net of $102,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $16,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1995.  This increase is primarily due to the interest earned on the funds
received from the Company's initial public offering in August 1995.

INCOME TAXES

     The Company recorded an income tax expense of $49,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to income tax expense of $132,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995.  The Company has not reflected an income tax
benefit on the $8,350,000 charge for purchased in process product development
related to the acquisitions described above due to the uncertainties associated
with the realization of tax benefits from those transactions.

NET INCOME (LOSS) AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

     The Company realized a net loss of $8,301,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to net income of $166,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995.  The net loss in the period ended March 31, 1996 reflects the
effect of the charge for purchased in-process product development of $8,350,000
in connection with the acquisitions described above.  Without this charge the
Company's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 would have been
$49,000.  The Company realized a loss per share of $0.80 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to earnings per share of $0.02 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995.  The charge for purchased in process product
development described above had approximately an $0.81 loss impact on the
Company's earnings for the three months ended March 31, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's working capital decreased $6.4 million from $14.3 million as
of December 31, 1995 to $7.9 million as of March 31, 1996.  This decrease
principally reflects the liabilities assumed and the consideration given
related to the acquisitions described above.  (See Note 2.)  In the three
months ended March 31, 1996 the Company generated cash from operating
activities of $2,345,000 as compared to $550,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995.  The Company used net cash in investing activities of
$1,493,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $645,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  Cash used in investing activities
for March 31, 1996 included principally purchases of property and equipment and
additions to software development.  The Company generated net cash from
financing activities of $317,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to net cash used in financing activities of $3,365,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, related primarily to repayment of a note payable
in 1995.
