check the /doc directory in the farmersmanual version. it has an
example patch that shows you how to use OSC. it's really quite
simple: set up a send object with a port number to send packets to,
and a receive object with the IP address of the the send object's
machine

OSC works in Pd, Max, SuperCollider and other software (even Flash
and Director). That seems to be reason enough for most to choose OSC
over netsend/receive.
