You could use one or more of tcpsend, tcpreceive, tcpserver or tcpclient at:
http://pure-data.iem.at/Members/martinrp/netobjects
They work the same way as netsend/netreceive and netclient/netserver but use
lists of bytes as data, so you could make a message like
[send 240 240 240 0 2 0( to send your init sequence.
