We'd very good experiences with Async Servers from Moxa, highly
configurable,
but max. 16 Ports in 1U.
http://www.moxa.com

Theres also a "new" product from Cyclades, which is (sorry..., but:)
Linux-based,
allows ssh and more packaged (32 ports in 1U). They're in eval at the
moment.
http://www.cyclades.com/products/stdalone/ts1_2000.htm

We checked out the Digi Portservers, but they do need to much rackspace and
are - compared to others - too expensive.

HTH, Oliver
