I've heard of MIDI running only over the USB port. Interfaces can be cheap to expensive.

A hub or, maybe better, a router should do the trick -- but I should emphasize "should." I hear that DSL is a pretty complicated and finicky thing. Maybe someone else could help with this giving more than educated guesses.
