sorry to come this late.

yes, multimidicast can do the trick of course. however it doesn't deal 
with sysex at all and it's alsa-midi (aka. alsa-seq) only.

if enough demand, i'm sure it won't be that hard to have a gui-less 
version of qmidinet

might be just one nice and really easy summer/week-end/one-night-stand 
coding project... ;)

any takers?
