With netsend/netreceive you have to open two channels, one pd->otherapp,
the other otherapp->pd.

The connections are built on simple sockets (choose between tcp and udp,
whereas udp is less troublesome most of the times).

In director you can use the netXtra to create sockets in Lingo.
The protocol to communicate is very simple, just append ";" to every
message you send to pd.

You can test sending messages with the "pdsend" shell command that
comes with the pd packages.
