not be a problem. On my LAN at home I've not had
a dropped

we've only had problems when we start scp'ing Debian ISO's
around the lab at the same time. DMIDI isn't meant for use
over the Internet though.
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!)
