The MIDI activity light flashes *very* briefly, so it could be that
nothing's being sent back.
My knowledge is limited to GS sysexs only, but I think your address
04 01 76 / length 00 01 76 may not be correct. The lower two bytes are
identical. Does the parameter at address 04 01 76 really have a length
of F6h bytes?

I have tried using Linux, but gave up when I
couldn't get ALSA or
OSS to recognise my USB MIDI interface, (a Yamaha UX96). Under
NetBSD it's recognised as soon as I plug it in.
Any somewhat recent version of ALSA does support the UX96.
I tried RedHat 9.0 and the CCRMA stuff, but I guess I mustn't have setup
the modules.conf file properly.
The snd-usb-audio driver doesn't really need any entries in
modules.conf, except when you want to force it to have a specific card
number.
The module should be automatically loaded by the hotplug scripts when
you plug in the USB device (or when booting).
I assume I need an entry in there to load the USB MIDI
interface
driver - could you send me your modules.conf so I can see what
sort of entries are required?
Something like the following: (I'm assuming you have another sound
card as the first card)
# ALSA stuff
alias char-major-116 snd
options snd cards_limit=2
alias snd-card-0 snd-whatever
options snd-whatever index=0 some_option=42
alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio index=1
# OSS emulation stuff
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
