EXHIBIT 99.1

Digi International Revises First-Quarter Fiscal 2006 Guidance

(Minneapolis, December 13, 2005) - Digi International® Inc. (NASDAQ: DGII) has revised revenue and earnings per diluted share guidance for the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

The Company now expects revenues for the first quarter ending December 31, 2005 to be in the range of $31.5 to $34 million and earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $0.07 to $0.12 per share excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense. The Company previously announced on November 3, 2005 that it expected revenues to be in the range of $34 million to $37 million and earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $0.12 to $0.17 per share excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense.

Digi believes that the lower than anticipated revenues, and the related earnings per diluted share impact, are largely due to certain customer orders being moved into subsequent quarters, across product line industry softness in North America channel sales, and new product sales not ramping up as quickly as expected. Revenue from Rabbit product lines have not been impacted and remain consistent with the Company’s previously indicated expectations.

The Company’s guidance for fiscal 2006 as announced on November 3, 2005, currently remains unchanged.

Digi will host a conference call to discuss its first quarter financial results and business outlook on Tuesday, January 17^th, 2006 at 4:00 PM Central Time, following the release of the Company’s first quarterly financial results.
