We are doing some work where we want to get MIDI into a unix box, more 
particularly a silicon graphics machine.

Are there any commercial convertor boxes available to do such a thing?

Are there any unix drivers out there that will handle the midi baudrate?

We see that the issue of disparate baud rates as being the main problem.
Any help on this matter would be appreciated.  Seems to me I remember
some discussion about the different UARTS in different PC's in this
usergroup sometime in the past.


Thanks
