                                   FVC.COM, INC.
                   1997 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTION PLAN

                             NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION



_________________________________, Optionee:

     On ______________________, 19__, an option was automatically granted to 
you (the "Optionee") pursuant to the FVC.COM, Inc. (the "Company") 1997 
Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") to purchase shares of 
the Company's common stock ("Common Stock").  This option is NOT intended to 
qualify and will not be treated as an "incentive stock option" within the 
meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the 
"Code").

     The grant hereunder is in connection with and in furtherance of the 
Company's compensatory benefit plan for participation of the Company's 
non-employee directors.  Defined terms not explicitly defined in this 
agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the 
Plan.

     The details of your option are as follows:

     1.   The total number of shares of Common Stock subject to this option
is _________ thousand (_0,000).

     2.   The exercise price of this option is _____________________($______) 
per share, such amount being equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 
Plan) of the Common Stock on the date of grant of this option.

     3.   Subject to the limitations contained herein, ten percent (10%) of
the shares will vest (become exercisable) on ____________________, 19__ (which
shall be the date six months following the grant date) and .0548% of the shares
will then vest each day thereafter until either (i) you cease to provide
services to the Company for any reason, or (ii) this option becomes fully
vested.

     4.   (a)  This option may be exercised, to the extent specified
above, by delivering a Notice of Exercise (in the form provided by the Company)
together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to such
other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours,
together with such additional documents as the Company may then require 
pursuant to Section 6 of the Plan.  This option may only be exercised for 
whole shares.

          (b)  You may elect to pay the exercise price under one of the
following alternatives:

               (i)   Payment of the exercise price per share in cash at
the time of exercise;

                                      1.

               (ii)  Provided that at the time of the exercise the Common
Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street Journal,
payment by delivery of shares of Common Stock already owned by you, held for 
the period required to avoid a charge to the Company's reported earnings, and 
owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interest, 
which Common Stock shall be valued at its Fair Market Value on the date 
preceding the date of exercise; or

               (iii) Payment by a combination of the methods of payment
specified in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, this option may be exercised
pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal
Reserve Board which results in the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company
either prior to the issuance of shares of the Common Stock or pursuant to the
terms of irrevocable instructions issued by you prior to the issuance of shares
of the Common Stock.

          (c)  By exercising this option you agree that the Company may
require you to enter an arrangement providing for the cash payment by you to 
the Company of any tax withholding obligation of the Company arising by reason 
of the exercise of this option.

     5.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this 
option may not be exercised unless the shares issuable upon exercise of this 
option are then registered under the Securities Act or, if such Shares are 
not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and 
issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities 
Act.

     6.   The term of this option is ten (10) years measured from the grant 
date, subject, however, to earlier termination upon your termination of 
service, as set forth in Section 6 of the Plan.

     7.   Any notices provided for in this option or the Plan shall be given 
in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case 
of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in 
the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the address 
specified below or at such other address as you hereafter designate by 
written notice to the Company.

     8.   This option is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, a copy of 
which is attached hereto, and its provisions are hereby made a part of this 
option, including without limitation the provisions of Section 6 of the Plan 
relating to option provisions, and is further subject to all interpretations, 
amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated 
and adopted pursuant to the Plan.  In the event of any conflict between the 
provisions of this option and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan 
shall control.

                                      2.
