[PD] Lanboc-LCX w/ Pd

[Alexandros Drymonitis]

Reading through the manuals I'm trying different stuff. Thought of
connecting to the lanbox (I spelled it wrong in the subject of this thread)
via [comport]. I do get connected, but can't really see how to send
commands.
I'm trying to connect via [tcpsend] via ethernet cause I think it's easier
to send commands in ASCII (looks easier to me at least), but the manual
says that the lanbox will ask for a password (which is 777 followed by a
carriege return, so in ASCII it will be 55 55 55 13). So I'm sending
[connect 192.168.1.77 4777( to [tcpsend], Pd freezes for a while and the
the console says 'tcpsend: connecting to port 4777', but if I immediately
after send [55 55 55 13( to [tcpsend] the console says 'tcpsend: not
connected'. Anyway, the toggle underneath [tcpsend] never goes to one, so
no connection is actually established.
Any ideas on this one guys?
