I am finally going to bite the bullet and get a MIDI setup for home.  Does
anyone have any advice on which MIDI interface to buy?  I had been leaning
toward the Passport interface, but the Altech has 3 MIDI out connectors to
1 for the Passport, and it is about $20 cheaper.  I only need a simple
interface and plan to use only one or tow MIDI devices, so do the multiple
outputs really matter?  Could I just chain them using the one output?

Also, this will mean I have 3 serial devices, but only two ports.  Does anyone
know someplace that carries a simple little switch box so I can let the MIDI
and the modem share a port?

Thanks in advance for any responses.
