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


GENERAL OVERVIEW

The first nine months of 1997 reflected sales of $26,678,000 compared to
$20,373,000 for the first  nine months of 1996.  This sales variance was
due to increased sales by AT Supply, Inc. ("AT Supply"), Teltronics/SRX,
Inc. ("SRX") and Interactive Solutions, Inc. ("ISI"), a majority owned
subsidiary of the Company.  The SRX business was purchased in September,
1996.  Gross profit increased to $9,067,000 from $6,686,000 for the
first nine months of 1996, primarily as a result of the increased sales
and improved margins.  Total operating expenses increased to $8,451,000
from $6,641,000 for the first nine months of 1996.  The increased
operating expenses related to SRX and ISI.  The first nine months of
1997 reflected a net loss of $(458,000) compared to a net loss of
$(341,000) for the first nine months of 1996.  The loss for the first
nine months is the direct result of the Company's continued funding of
ISI development expenses.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996.

Total sales for the three months ended September 30, 1997 increased by
approximately $3,027,000 over the same period of 1996.  This variance
was due to increased sales by AT Supply and SRX and initial sales by ISI.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1997 increased to
$3,442,000 from $2,334,000 for the same quarter of 1996.  The increase
in gross profit was the result of increased sales and improved margins. 
The gross profit percentage of sales increased to 34.1% from 33.0% for
the same quarter of 1996.  This increase was due to product mix, with
increased sales of Teltronics' Remote Maintenance and Vision PBX (SRX)
products.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1997
were $3,109,000 as compared to $2,394,000 for the same quarter of 1996. 
General and administrative expenses were $1,338,000 for the quarter
compared to $667,000 for the same quarter of 1996.  This increase is due
to expenditures related to SRX, ISI and increased benefit plan costs. 
Research and development expenses were $568,000 for the quarter compared
to $345,000 for the same quarter of 1996.  This increase is the result
of the Company's continuing development funding in ISI and SRX.  Selling
and marketing expenses were $1,203,000 for the quarter compared to
$1,382,000 for the same quarter of 1996.  This decrease related to
personnel reductions.

Operating income was $334,000 for the quarter compared to $(59,000) for
the same quarter of 1996.  This increase relates to improved sales and
margins, offset by increased operating expenses.  Interest expense for
the quarter was $354,000 compared to $138,000 for the same period of
1996.  This increase resulted from the Debentures issued to Sirrom
Capital Corporation.

Net loss was $(40,000) compared to $(206,000) for the same period of
1996.  The loss was primarily the result of the Company's continued
funding of ISI development expenses.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996.

Total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased by
approximately $6,305,000 over the same period of 1996.  This variance
was due to increased sales by AT Supply and SRX and initial sales by ISI.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased to
$9,067,000 from $6,686,000 for the same quarter of 1996.  The increase
in gross profit was the result of increased sales and improved margins. 
The gross profit percentage of sales increased to 34.0% from 32.8% for
the same period of 1996.  This increase was due to product mix, with
increased Vision PBX sales.

Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
were $8,451,000 as compared to $6,641,000 for the same period of 1996. 
General and administrative expenses were $3,200,000 for the nine months
compared to $1,682,000 for the same period of 1996.  This increase is
due to expenditures related to SRX, ISI and increased employee benefit
costs.  Research and development expenses were $1,751,000 for the nine
months compared to $1,014,000 for the same quarter of 1996.  This
increase is the result of the Company's continuing development funding
in ISI and SRX.  Selling and marketing expenses were $3,500,000 for the
nine months compared to $3,945,000 for the same period of 1996.  This
decrease relates to personnel reductions.

Operating income was $616,000 for the nine months compared to $45,000
for the same period of 1996.  This increase related to improved sales
and margins, offset by increased operating expenses.  Interest expense
was $868,000 for the nine months compared to $398,000 for the same
period of 1996.  This increase resulted from the Debentures issued to
Sirrom Capital Corporation.

Net loss for the nine months was $(458,000) compared to $(341,000) for
the same period of 1996.  The loss was primarily the result of the
Company's continued funding of ISI development expenses.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at September 30, 1997 were $18,858,716 compared to
$17,013,085 at December 31, 1996.  The Company's current ratio at
September 30, 1997 was 1.28:1, compared to .966:1 at December 31, 1996.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash requirements were met with cash provided primarily by borrowings
from CIT and the Debentures discussed below.  On August 1, 1997, the
Company's principal lender, The CIT Group/Credit Finance ("CIT") entered
into a Ninth Amendment to the Company's Line of Credit Facility and Term
Loan.  The Amendment reduced the interest rate from 2.5% to 2.0% above
prime rate, increased maximum availability from $4,950,000 to
$7,000,000, increased the prepayment penalty for any payment prior to
October 28, 1998 from 1% to 1.5%, extended the Initial Term by one year,
and added ISI as a co-borrower on the line of Credit Facility and Term Loan. 

The Company's current ratio at September 30, 1997 was 1:28.1.  Net
working capital was $3,326,351 at September 30, 1997.  Short term
requirements are expected to be met through cash flows from operations,
from the credit line facility and from the Employee Stock Payment Plan.

<PAGE>     10

On February 13, 1997, the Company entered into a Debenture Purchase
Agreement and  sold $4,250,000 aggregate principal amount of its
Subordinated Convertible Debentures Due on February 13, 2002 to Sirrom
Capital Corporation.  The Debentures bear interest at the rate of 11%
per annum, payable quarterly commencing May 1, 1997.  Fees in connection
with the Debentures totaled $187,055.

The Debentures are subordinated to certain other indebtedness of the
Company.  Subject to and upon compliance with certain provisions of the
Agreement, the holder of the Debentures has the right, at its option, at
anytime, to convert the principal amount of the Debenture, or any
portion thereof, into shares of the Company's Voting Common Stock, par
value $.001 per share at a conversion price (subject to adjustment under
certain conditions) of $4.00 per share.

In addition, the Company is exploring the possibility of other equity or
debt financing.  


CURRENT OUTLOOK

Sales in the Vision PBX and Remote Maintenance product lines produced
record results during the third quarter.  The demand for Vision PBX
continues to increase as more distributors are added and as customers
confidence in the continuation of this product line by the Company
improves.  The re-writing of the Remote Maintenance Software package of
IRIS converting into Window NT as IRIS nGen should produce new
opportunities for 1998.  

Although ISI successfully built 100 pre-production Mentis computers,
sales are still slow due to not having production units.  These pre-
production units have been sold to customers under a proof of concept,
enabling a number of different organizations to prove how they would use
the product.  Full production units should be available by the end of
this year and available in quantity during the first quarter of next year.

The Mentis development has been funded through cash flow from the
Company's other product lines.  The Company is exploring other equity or
debt financing to complete the Mentis development and provide funding
for increased marketing of all of the Company's products.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          On or about September 12, 1995, Commstar, Ltd., a Canadian
          corporation, commenced an action in the Circuit Court of the
          Thirteenth Judicial District, Hillsborough County, Florida,
          against the Company, a director of the Company, and a former
          majority owned subsidiary of the Company, seeking damages in
          connection with a sale of shares of the former subsidiary in
          1993.  The complaint, which seeks rescission, damages in       
          excess of $15,000, as well as costs and attorneys fees, was    
          dismissed on February 9, 1996 without prejudice.  The          
          complaint was subsequently refiled and discovery in the action 
          has commenced.  Although the complaint does not set forth      
          precisely the damages sought by Commstar, the complaint        
          alleges that Commstar agreed to pay $600,000 for the shares of 
          the former subsidiary and that Commstar owed the Company       
          approximately $98,700.  The Company believes that it has       
          meritorious defenses to the allegations and is vigorously      
          defending the refiled complaint.

          In November, 1995, C&L Communications commenced an action in
          the District Court, 37th Judicial District Bexar County, Texas
          against AT Supply,  two AT Supply officers and a former
          employee.  In April, 1997, the Company was named as an
          additional Defendant. The claims against AT Supply are for
          misappropriation/conversion of C&L's trade secrets,
          conspiracy, and acceptance of the benefits of an alleged       
          breach of fiduciary duty by the individual defendants.  The    
          Complaint seeks damages equal to profits allegedly lost as a   
          result of disclosure of the confidential information allegedly 
          diverted to the Defendants and for exemplary damages.  All     
          Defendants have denied liability and are vigorously defending  
          the allegations.  Trial is scheduled for January, 1998.
