Thanks for the response, Spencer_Lists,

I saw one of those and I believe they are no longer being manufactured.  Plus, for the price, I think I might as well have a Cat 5 wire run through the walls between the computer and the piano, and connect-up using a Cat-5 to USB adapter/extender such as sold by TrippLite http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/model.cfm?txtSeriesID=140&EID=14872&txtModelID=3722, and then connect a MIDI-to-USB connector thingie to the USB adapter.

They also have a small USB dongle that will act as one of the pairs but you have to buy two units in a set and buy the USB dongle separately. I have used these and they are reliable. The only problem is that the documentation is not great and the configurator is a little confusing. I wrote my own to set up communication parameters and will share it with anyone who uses WIDI. My configurator is a simple command line program that you can run as a batch file also so you can set up your computer to establish the WIDI connection when it boots and or put an icon on your desktop that sets it up.
