Dear Doug:

     This letter confirms the terms of an amendment to your employment 
agreement with the Company dated February 6, 1995, as previously amended by 
letter agreement dated January 16, 1997 (the "Agreement"). Except as 
specifically provided for herein, the terms of the Agreement remain in full 
force and effect.

     If you are terminated by the Company without "cause" on or before 
September 30, 1999, you would be entitled to severance equal to one year's 
base salary and a bonus (if earned) that would be pro-rated for the portion 
of the fiscal year through the termination date. The definition of "cause" is 
attached as an appendix to the Agreement. Neither this letter nor the 
Agreement shall be construed so as to amend the definition of "cause" 
contained in the terms and conditions of your options to purchase shares of 
the Company's Common Stock.

     The Agreement as amended by this letter constitutes the entire agreement 
between you and the Company regarding the subject matter contained therein 
and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating thereto.

     If the terms outlined above are acceptable, please confirm by signing 
the enclosed copy below and returning it to me.

                                       Very truly yours, 
                                       DIGI INTERNATIONAL INC.
