It doesn't matter. You may as well use the Keyspan since it's cheaper (I
think), and has better support. If you have a newer G4, the g4Port does not
reach the hole for the modem port, so it requires using a PCI slot.
The main reason I have the g4Port is for MIDI. All of my other serial needs
could use the Keyspan adapter.
