The DigiBoard supports daisy-chaining up to 16 concentrators off each
of the two RS-422 ports on the back of the card.  Each concentrator
has 16 RJ-45 ports on it, which means you can have a maximum of 512
ports.  Drivers are available for SCO Unix, SCO Xenix, and generic
Unix System Vr3.2.  Dunno if SysVr4.0 drivers are available; talk to
DigiComm about it.  (Sorry, don't have contact info; the manuals are
at work.)
