Just out of curiousity, why do you use byte mode rather than message  
mode?  Do you mean that you are sending one byte per packet?

What about just a [socket] object which could also do UNIX sockets,  
or any other kind?  It would probably be more work, but worth it in  
the long run.  Then [tcpsocket], etc. could be a Pd object.
