I've used digi gear since they were called Control Data, and it works
really well. (One busted port in all those years) 

They do have some problems WRT break-safety together with Sun machines,
but we haven't got many Suns anymore, so it's less of a problem now.

The Etherlite products are neat, the ports show up as regular ttys on
a designated machine, so you can use normal software (eg screen) on it.
