Natural Microsystems Shares Fall 10% as Cisco Enters Its Market

Natick, Massachusetts, Dec. 18 -- Natural Microsystems Corp.'s
shares fell 10 percent on investor concern that the company will
lose market share to Cisco Systems Inc., which is entering the
Internet telephony business.

The Natick, Massachusetts-based company's shares fell 4 to close
at 36 1/4, the lowest close since late September.

Natural Microsystems is among the dominant companies in the
Internet telephony business, which allows people to make phone
calls through the Internet. Cisco, the world's biggest maker of
computer networking equipment, is developing software for Qwest
Communications International Inc. for Internet telephony, the
Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

''Talk about significant competition from bigger companies makes
people apprehensive,'' said Sally Anderson, senior vice president
at Kopp Investment Advisors, which holds about 60,000 shares of
Natural Microsystems.

Natural Microsystems officials couldn't be reached for comment.
