I have heard many, many comments about different interfaces for the
Atari line of computers, but none are as reliable or as supported as
the Atari 850 Interface.  They can be found through most mail order
places for about $70.  With one you can add both printers and modems.
I have 4 computers (three at home and one at my office), and I have
the 850 in both places.

Anyone have a better idea?
