  Item 2.	Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
  
  The Company announced today that it signed an Asset
   Purchase Agreement with Sierra Wireless, Inc. (Sierra) to
   sell its cellular digital packet data modem business, for
   $110,000.  On Monday, May 12, 1997 the Company filed a
   motion with the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern
   District of Ohio, Western Division, for an order (i) granting
   authority to sell the assets to Sierra pursuant to Section 363
   of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) establishing auction procedures
   and (iii) setting a hearing date of May 27, 1997 on the sale
   of these assets.  
  
  The Company is in the process of looking for buyers for the
   rest of its phone business.  This transaction, however, is
   not likely to contribute more than minimum value to the
   creditors.  This sale, coupled with the closing of the sale of
   the Company's real estate, will complete the sale of
   substantially all of the Company's assets.
