2005, November 15th: "I'm sorry that development of these objects (netsend~ / netreceive~) has stopped. The versions downloadable from my website are beta versions that worked on my machine and also have been reported working by other people. However, several aspects of them are really not optimized at all and might depend on the speed of hardware used." (Max/MSP forum(external link))
