The "(gpointer)" message your get from a [print] object is not the
real form of the pointer in your patch, it's basically just a dummy
printout. A real pointer in Pd doesn't have a printed form and I don't
think you can send it over the network. A pointer just points to some
data hold in memory.

You can only send this data contained in a pointer by [get]-ing it and
[set]-ing it on the other side.

Ciao
