This Statement on Schedule 13G, originally filed on April 5, 1999, is being
restated in its entirety as follows to include  information  as of April 2,
1999 relating to 26,775 shares of the Issuer (as defined below) which was  
inadvertently  omitted from the Schedule 13G filed on April 5, 1999:

"This  statement on Schedule 13G (this  "Statement") is being filed by Alan
J. Andreini (the "Reporting  Person") and relates to the common stock,  par
value $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Coyote Network Systems, Inc.
(the "Issuer").  This Statement  reflects  ownership of Common Stock of the
Issuer by the Reporting  Person for his own account and by persons for whom
the Reporting Person exercises trading  authority.  The Reporting Person is
currently  authorized to exercise trading authority over: (i) an account of
the Kiskiminetas  Springs School (the "School"),  which as of April 2, 1999
held  145,700  shares of Common  Stock;  (ii) the  account of The  Andreini
Foundation (the "Foundation"), which as of April 2, 1999 held 24,150 shares
of Common  Stock;  (iii) the account of John D.  Andreini (who is deceased)
and Blanche M. Andreini (the "Parents") at Cheevers Hand & Angeline,  Inc.,
which as of April 2, 1999 together held 24,150 shares of Common Stock;  and
(iv) an account at Piper Jaffray for the benefit of Alan J.  Andreini,  Jr.
(the "Son"),  Under Illinois  Uniform  Transfers to Minors Act, which as of
April 2, 1999 held  2,625  shares of Common  Stock.  Pursuant  to the rules
promulgated under the federal  securities laws, the Reporting Person may be
deemed to be the  beneficial  owner of the Common  Stock owned by each such
person because the Reporting Person has shared  investment and voting power
in respect of the account of the School and of the account of the  Parents,
and has sole  investment  and voting power in respect of the account of the
Foundation  and of the account of the Son. The Reporting  Person  disclaims
beneficial  ownership  of the  Common  Stock  held  by the  School  and the
Foundation. This Schedule 13G amends the statement on Schedule 13D filed by
the  Reporting  Person on April 5, 1999 as  restated on May 14,  1999.  The
percentages  reported herein are based on there being 10,537,010  shares of
Common Stock  outstanding  as reported in the Form 10-Q of the Issuer filed
on February 16, 1999.  This statement on Schedule 13G reflects  information
as of April 2, 1999.
