well... actually i didn`t use "add interface". in the preferences under 
"main interface" there is "rc", which needs to be activated in the "main 
interface" section. i thought "console" actually is the telnet interface.

i tried it under windows too without success.

it would be really cool if someone would have a glue how to get rid of 
this semicolon at the end of each "pd send". i think this would solve 
some problems and maybe this is also the only problem for windows (as it 
connects fine - but doesn`t recognise any sends)
