I have it somewhere on one of these computers, but I can't figure out where. Also, the Googling I've done has come up with lots of falst positives and not the actual goods.

That's the one! ttymidi!

Thanks! It was driving me nuts to not be able to remember that.

I'm finding myself having a lot of "senior moments" like that lately. Kind of scary since I'm still relatively young (42). Stuff like forgetting the keystroke combinations for doing stuff in Emacs that I do hundreds, maybe thousands of times a day.

If it weren't for Google and mailing lists, I'm not sure I'd remember how to breathe.

And thanks for the JACK-RACK advice too; I couldn't find a Debian package for 1.4.7 but I found an Ubuntu one, and built and installed it... and it supports MIDI'ing the Enable button!x Yay.

I'll take pictures of what I end up with when it's done.
