Oh my.... it's a simple MIDI file with a SYSEX dump in it.

Geez.  What a pain.

Use aplaymidi.  Set your device to receive.  Then open up a 
terminal (command-line) and:

$ aplaymidi --list
  Port    Client name                      Port name
  14:0    Midi Through                     Midi Through Port-0
  20:0    MidiSport 1x1                    MidiSport 1x1 MIDI 1
$ aplaymidi -p20:0 X999_OS138.MID

Note that 20:0 matched the MidiSport port I was using.
