I can save everyone some time, because I read the VSL forum all the time. Nobody has it working yet with Macs.

You're way informed about the details of ethernet than I am, Peter, and it sounds like you've described the technical issues accurately. And yet people are using FX-Teleport (www.FX-Max.com) in high-volume professional situations with none of the problems you mention. Unfortunately it's only for Windows. (Jesse White, a consultant in L.A. who's set this up for a lot of people, actually had a big article about this in our April/May issue.) Max is supposedly working on a Mac version, but it hasn't appeared.
