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!)
