apparently pd uses tcp sockets for n-s/r and max uses udp.
it would be a big step "forward" if you could specify and use both protocols on both sides (or at least the same ones ;)
I think it's a great idea to extend netsend/netreceive to offer udp as well as tcp connections. I'll probably try to add that capability as part of a netsend/netreceive rewrite I have to do in the next 2 weeks or so...
After the basic connection is worked out, there's still the question of getting netsend/netreceive and the Max objects to format the data the same way. Do teh Max networking objects come with the Max release?
thanks Miller

jes, but we can't try out anything of course before the basic connect works. and then i might be able to fiddle with the formatting part of the code, or do i underestimate the effort? unfortunately the netsend/receive objects to not come with standad max release ... maybe you can talk to suzuki-san (the author) directly about sources for the max-ns/r and any formatting stuff, i ll forward the subject ...
ok, few more things connected to the same matter: still, how about sending signals over the net? uncompressed at first (LAN application), and furthermore, guenther, any news on the mp3 stuff? i also talked to chris penrose about a week ago, he said he was working on some sort of mpeg net.in/out objects for max, and since it takes far less crunch to realtime encode.it, he's using layer-2 for this. maybe this/he can help(s) ... and still i think it would be great to have a "wc" object in pd. this too only works in max at moment, its a chatlike protokoll and very useful to dispense/broadcast the same information over the net to many clients ... there is a server and a VERY simple cl.client for unix/linux around. but i do not feel too confident about converting all the mac related network-shit involved in this object to unix side ...
please, any thoughts welcome ... osl
