ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

          Under Delaware law, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to an action (other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of his service as a
director or officer of the corporation, or his service, at the corporation's
request, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) that are actually
and reasonably incurred by him ("Expenses"), and judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement that are actually and reasonably incurred by him, in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action, provided that he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the corporation's best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Although Delaware law permits a corporation to indemnify any person referred to
above against Expenses in connection with the defense or settlement of an action
by or in the right of the corporation, provided that he acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's
best interests, if such person has been judged liable to the corporation,
indemnification is only permitted to the extent that the Court of Chancery (or
the court in which the action was brought) determines that, despite the
adjudication of liability, such person is entitled to indemnity for such
Expenses as the court deems proper.  The General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware also provides for mandatory indemnification of any director, officer,
employee or agent against Expenses to the extent such person has been successful
in any proceeding covered by the statute.  In addition, the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware provides the general authorization of advancement
of a director's or officer's litigation expenses in lieu of requiring the
authorization of such advancement by the board of directors in specific cases,
and that indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by the statute
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw,
agreement or otherwise.

          The By-Laws of the Registrant provide for the broad indemnification by
the directors and officers of the Registrant and for advancement of litigation
expenses to the fullest extent permitted by current Delaware law.  The
Registrant also has entered into indemnification contracts with its directors
and officers.

          The Registrant maintains a policy of directors and officers liability
insurance which reimburses the Registrant for expenses which it may incur in
connection with the foregoing indemnity provisions and which may provide direct
indemnification to directors and officers where the Registrant is unable to do
so.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1)  to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

          (i)  to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
               Securities Act of 1933;

         (ii)  to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
               after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or
               the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
               individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
               change in the information set forth in the Registration
               Statement;

        (iii)  to include any material information with respect to the plan
               of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
               Statement or any material change to such information in the
               Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement;

     (2)  that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof;

     (3)  to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering;

     (4)  that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

Gentlemen:

          In connection with the proposed registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, of 105,550 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share, of Digi International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
proposed to be sold by certain Selling Stockholders of the Company, we have
examined such corporate records and other documents, including the Registration
Statement on Form S-3, dated the date hereof, relating to such shares (the
"Registration Statement"), and have reviewed such matters of law as we have
deemed necessary for this opinion, and we advise you that in our opinion:

          1.   The Company is a corporation duly organized and existing under
     the laws of the State of Delaware.

          2.   The shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by the Selling
     Stockholders named in the Registration Statement are, and when sold as
     contemplated in the Registration Statement will be, legally and validly
     issued and fully paid and non-assessable.

          We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the heading "Legal
Matters" in the prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement and
to the reference to our firm wherever appearing therein.

                                   Very truly yours,


                                   /s/ FAEGRE & BENSON
