Not sure if they are still in business. (And I don't remember the name of the company who took the terminal servers over.)

Look what you did. Now you made me look it up. :-)
So, yes. DEC sold it to Cabletron. Cabletron in turn spun the DECserver 
business out to it's own company (to quote Wikipedia), called Digital 
Networks.
That company now seems to operate under the name Vnetek Corp, but it 
would appear they might now have stopped manufacturing DECservers.
Looking at the wayback machine, the information about the DECserver 716 
(which was the last model they produced) was removed in fall 2017.
