I think that those are just a rebadged Central Data SCSI-based terminal 
server.   If so, Digiboard distributes drivers that work for those, but 
I haven't had much luck getting one to work on a modern Linux 
distribution (and that was 5 years ago I was trying).  The AIX drivers 
worked fine for me though.

I'd suggest a Xyplex Maxserver 15xx/16xx or Xylogics/Bay Network/whoever 
Annex 3 or Micro Annex, or a DECserver of some sort.
