With the Pd net object overhaul, pd is using sendto with UDP as suggested by Christof as well, I believe.

I agree that it would be nice to change the "connect" metaphor with UDP and [netsend -u]. Maybe one approach is to add another message such as your "to" which only works for UDP while retaining current "connect" functionality to not break patches.

So I changed it to use sendto and it works a lot better. It receives
from multiple clients while sending to any one.
I added a [to ( message to set the destination, and removed the
[connect( and [disconnect{ methods.
Thanks Christof for the critique!.
