http://www.opendragon.com/ has a few tcp/ip externals for Max/msp that are capable of recieving regular text messages if I remember correctly. But maybe not. But anyway, they're for regular tcp/ip connections and you can send whatever back and forth. But I don't remember how Max handles the data once it's there.

I know this isn't really PD based but it kind of is:) I'm using pd in my work but there's the possibility of collaboration with someone using MAX on the horizon based on some stuff I've done already with PD.
Now, I don't have a mac so I can't really try it out.
What I need to know is does max have tcp sockets and if so, is there any point of sending textual data to it (ie can it split and process text like pd can)?
(I'm not purely sending synchronization data but lots of data streams -from non music environments- for generation of whatever it is we do)
I realise this isn't strictly pd but I guessed most (or at-least) some of you have tried something cross-environment or just used both programs.
