[maxmsp] [mxj net.udp.send] to accept raw data (Art-Net development)

Philippe, Eric,
i had the same issue some time ago and could not find a way to send/ 
receive raw bytes to/from a microcontroller
using mxj net.udp.*
so i made some classes that use DatagramSocket and DatagramPacket to  
send/receive byte-buffers.
don't know what's going wrong with your examples, eric, but i didn't  
notice any dropped packets.

if anybody is interested, you can find my early attempts here:

my java knowledge is still quite limited... so any comments on how to  
improve those are welcome.
volker.
