     ITEM 2.     IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

     (a)  This Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf of the Reporting Persons.
          The Reporting Persons are making this single, joint filing because
          they may be deemed to constitute a "group" within the meaning of
          Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
          (the "Exchange Act"), although neither the fact of this joint filing
          nor anything contained herein shall be deemed an admission by any
          Reporting Person that such a "group" exists. The agreement among the
          Reporting Persons to file jointly (the "Joint Filing Agreement") was
          previously filed as Exhibit 1 to the Statement. Each Reporting Person
          disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock, other
          than those reported herein as being owned by it.

          SV Associates VI and SV Associates VII are the general partners of
          Sierra Ventures VI and Sierra Ventures VII, respectively. Management
          of the business affairs of SV Associates VI and SV Associates VII,
          including decisions respecting disposition and/or voting of the shares
          of Common Stock and the exercise of rights to acquire Common Stock, is
          by majority decision of the general partners of each of SV Associates
          VI and SV Associates VII, respectively, as listed on Schedule I
          hereto. Each individual general partner disclaims beneficial ownership
          of the shares of Common Stock and rights to acquire such shares,
          except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.

     (b)  The address of principal business of each Reporting Person is 3000
          Sand Hill Road, Building Four, Suite 210, Menlo Park, California
          94025.

     (c)  The principal business of each of the Reporting Entities is that of
          making venture capital and similar investments.

     (d)  None of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge,
          any of the directors, executive officers, control persons, general
          partners or members referred to in paragraph (a) above has, during the
          last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding
          traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

     (e)  None of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge,
          any of the directors, executive officers, control persons, general
          partners or members referred to in paragraphs (a) and (d) above has,
          during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a
          judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a
          result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or
          final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or
          mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or
          finding any violation with respect to such laws.

     (f)  Each of the individuals referred to in paragraphs (a) and (e) above is
          a United States citizen.

     ITEM 3.          SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

     Pursuant to the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement") previously filed as Exhibit 2 to the Statement, dated as of

are convertible at the time such Preferred Stock Warrants are exercised. Each

(the "Certificate of Designation").

     On March 29, 2002, Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII exercised

respectively.  Upon exercise of such warrants, the



Schedule 13D                                                        Page 9 of 16


Company issued to Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII, additional Common
Stock Warrants to purchase up to 227,335 and 22,665 shares of Common Stock,
respectively.

     The total funds used to purchase the Series A Preferred Stock at the

pursuant to such warrants will be $682,000 in the case of Sierra Ventures VII
and $68,000 in the case of Sierra Associates VII, which will be provided from

the Company withhold a number of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants that is equal in value at the time of conversion to the aggregate
exercise price of the shares actually issued upon such conversion. Sierra
Ventures VII and SV Associates VII have not made any determination as to whether
they will exercise the Common Stock Warrants, if at all, either for cash or on a
cashless basis.

the Company's Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $10 per share, with the

shares (the "Series B Closing").  Each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be
convertible into Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.19, or at an
initial conversion rate of approximately 53 shares of Common Stock for each
share of Series B Preferred Stock, subject to certain adjustments as set forth
in the Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company and

Series A Preferred Stock and Series B



Schedule 13D                                                       Page 10 of 16


Preferred Stock currently held by the Reporting Persons and may purchase
additional shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Common Stock Warrants, in
order to obtain an equity position in the Company for investment purposes. The
subsequent share sales from Sierra Ventures VII to Sierra Ventures VI and from
SV Associates VII to SV Associates VI were effected in order to diversify the
holdings of the various entities within the Sierra family of funds.

     Jeffrey M. Drazan, a general partner of SV Associates VI (the general
partner of Sierra Ventures VI) and a managing member of SV Associates VII (the
general partner of Sierra Ventures VII), currently serves as a director of the
Company.  As a result, Mr. Drazan may be deemed to be a "control" person of the
Company.

     The Reporting Persons may from time to time acquire additional shares of
Common Stock or dispose of shares of Common Stock through open market or
privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, depending on existing market
conditions and other considerations discussed below.  Each of the Reporting
Persons intends to review its investment in the Company on a continuing basis
and, depending upon the price and availability of shares of the Company's Common
Stock, subsequent developments affecting the Company, the Company's business and
prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to such
Reporting Person, general stock market and economic conditions, tax
considerations and other factors considered relevant, may decide at any time to
increase, or to decrease, the size of its investment in the Company.

     SERIES A PURCHASE AGREEMENT.  On September 23, 2001, Sierra Ventures VII
and SV Associates VII entered into the Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the
Company agreed to issue and sell, and Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII
agreed to purchase, shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the Closing and the
Company agreed to issue to Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII the
Preferred Stock Warrants and Common Stock Warrants, all as set forth in Item 3
above.  The Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock Warrants contain
adjustment provisions pursuant to which, in certain circumstances, Sierra
Ventures VII and SV Associates VII may be entitled to acquire additional shares
of the Company's Common Stock.  In addition, the liquidation preference
applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock increases at the rate of 8.00% per
year, compounded quarterly, from the date of issue, and as the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion is tied to the liquidation preference,
the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock
will also increase at a minimum of 8.00% per year, compounded quarterly.
Descriptions of the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred
Stock contained herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the form
of Certificate of Designation.

     CONVERSION OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK.  Pursuant to the Certificate of
Designation, the Company may cause all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
to be automatically converted into Common Stock at any time after the fifth
anniversary of the date of initial issuance of such shares, provided that the
Company may only cause such automatic conversion if the closing price per share
of Common Stock for thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending within ten (10)
days of the date on which notice of such automatic conversion is given to the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have been at least $5.00, as
adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends and similar events. All shares of
Series A Preferred Stock will also automatically convert into Common Stock at
the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock.  The Series A Preferred Stock may also be converted at any time
at the election of each holder.

     VOTING.  As set forth in the Certificate of Designation, holders of Series
A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote such stock on an as converted basis

Common Stock as a single class with respect to all matters, except under
specified circumstances described below under "Board Representation" with
respect to the election of directors and under "Change of Control" with respect
to certain Change of Control Transactions (as defined in the Certificate of

the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
(i) amend or repeal the provisions of the Certificate of Designation; (ii)
authorize or issue any shares of a class or series senior to the Series A

providers; (v) repurchase any outstanding shares of stock, except for repurchase
of shares held by employees pursuant to repurchase agreements approved by the

debentures, notes or other obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or
having option rights to purchase, any shares of stock on parity with the Series
A Preferred Stock.

     BOARD REPRESENTATION. The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, as set
forth in the Certificate of Designation, provide for holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock to elect three members to the Board, voting separately as a
class. Except as described in the next sentence, this provision remains in
effect for so long as at least 75% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
issued by the Company remain outstanding.  If less than 75% but at least 50% of
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued by the Company remain outstanding,
the number of directors to be elected by holders of Series A Preferred Stock
voting separately shall be reduced to two.  If less than 50% but at least 25% of
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued by the Company remain outstanding,
the number of directors to be elected by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
voting separately shall be reduced to one.  If less than 25% of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock issued by the Company remain outstanding, the holders
of Series A Preferred Stock will no longer have the right to elect any members
of the board of directors voting separately.  All other directors will be
elected by the holders of the Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock
voting as a single class. The initial designees of the holders of Series A
Preferred Stock, Gayle Crowell, Cary Davis and Nancy Martin, were appointed to
the Board effective as of the Closing. To the knowledge of the Reporting
Persons, Mr. Davis and Ms. Martin are Members and Managing Directors of Warburg,
Pincus LLC and are Partners of Warburg, Pincus & Co., and Ms. Crowell is a
full-time adviser of Warburg, Pincus LLC.

     CHANGE OF CONTROL.  Under the Certificate of Designation, the Company may
not consummate any Change of Control Transaction, as defined the Certificate of
Designation, without the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, unless such transaction would
result in aggregate consideration paid in respect of such Series A Preferred
Stock equal to the original purchase price thereof, plus an internal rate of
return equal to at least 50%.  In addition, in the event of any Change of
Control Transaction, holders of Common Stock Warrants will have the right to
deliver such warrants to the Company in exchange for payments equal to the
Black-Scholes value of such warrants at



Schedule 13D                                                       Page 12 of 16

ownership in the Company in the event of future equity issuances by the Company.
A copy of the Preemptive Rights Agreement providing for such rights was
previously filed as Exhibit 6 to the Statement.

the Purchase Agreement and the agreements related thereto, subject to certain
conditions the Company has agreed to prepare and file with the SEC, upon request
