Hi, Will, Jody and List.

There are a tremendous number of folks selling MIDI routing and
distribution equipment through ads in ELECTRONIC MUSICIAN magazine. You
may want to post the question to [rec.music.makers] or
[rec.music.synth] as many of the manufacturers participate in those
newsgroups. I also recall seeing fiber-optic repeaters and
balanced-line drivers for those applications, too.

FYI: There is an 'Electronic and Computer Music Frequently-Asked Questions
document (FAQ)' available at:

        ftp://XCF.Berkeley.EDU/pub/misc/netjam/doc/FAQ/ECMFAQ

I read there that Rich Kulawiec (rsk@gynko.circ.upenn.EDU) posts a
monthly list of manufacturer contact info to the newsgroups
rec.music.makers, rec.music.synth, alt.guitar, and news.answers.

Cheers!  -Pete Woodworth
