                SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
                         WASHINGTON, D.C.

Litigation Release No. 15252 / February 11, 1997

Securities and Exchange Commission v. Digital Products
Corporation
Case No. 97-CV-00276 (D.D.C.)  (filed February 11, 1997)

     On February 11, 1997, the Commission filed a complaint in
the United States District Court for the District of Columbia
against Digital Products Corporation.  The complaint alleges that
Digital, a Florida-based company engaged in manufacturing
automatic telephone dialers and house arrest monitoring
equipment, failed to make available to the investing public
current and accurate information about its financial condition
and results of operation through the filing of periodic reports
with the Commission as required by the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 ("Exchange Act").  Specifically, the complaint alleges that
Digital has not filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, two Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 1996 and September
30, 1996, and one Notification of Late Filing with respect to its
delinquent reports.  The Commission seeks to compel Digital to
file its delinquent periodic reports and to enjoin Digital from
further violations of Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934
and Rules 12b-25, 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder.
