I think he meant TCP *instead* of UDP. DMIDI's 
connectionless, isn't it, Phil?

I can vouch for the performance. Phil hardly noticed in the 
lab when I was downloading 1.5GB powerpc images on 6 macs at 
a time from a server on the same subnet: those UDP packets 
kept getting through! I have also witnessed the Palm Pilot 
client driving a midi device over its IR into a mobile phone 
and through a ISP!! (although as Phil said, I guess he never 
intended it to be used that way!)
