Yep,  it's that delay thing that got me.  Playing through a delay set 100% effected is
something I can deal with, at least the delay is constant.  When we tried on-line jams a
while ago it was in the UK on 33.6 Modems using a combination of virgin, AOL and demon as
the ISPs.  Only the guys on demon got anything like a constant delay.  The rest of us got
breaks in transmission and essentially random delays.

I haven't tried it for a while, though but it seems to me that the net has got slower so
unless it all runs through the same ISP ...  I don't know, I'm not a networks expert!!  I
have another ISP local here with ISDN.  Maybe try that over the weekend,  but Japanese
traffic levels are huge and the ISDN drop out rate is worse that the phone-line connection
that I use to Telnet into Virgin!

Is there any other machine for music <g>

MP3 was a bit esoteric!
