Interesting. Is a domestic network card under linux capable of obeying this spec? IIRC their previous effort was sent over cat5, but there was something funky about it. Also is it possible to use the same NIC as you're using for TCP/IP? I think I remember sending IPX over the same card as TCP/IP in the bad old days. Inevitable comparison with mLAN: - mLAN has built in routing + ethernet has more mature support in linux - mLAN can send high latency (eg. tcp/ip) down the same cable with no problems. + mLAN cables/cards cost more and less common + MaGIC has targeted parameters and MIDI, mLAN just MIDI + MaGIC is more open Maybe I should have played with raw ethernet packets when I did my latency measurements before, but its a bit lower level than I really like playing with. I have this horrible premonition of guitar players going round with cat5 and synth players going round with 1394, and all the hardware companies flogging expensive translator boxes... conspiracy anyone ;) - Steve
