I don't know... there must be hundreds of thousands of Cubase users, and
all they need on the second machine is the $49 V-Stack application.

(and anyway, they weren't the only ones with the idea or even the best

OK, but networked plugins do have some degree of specialized
requirements.. the way I see it, we should take a yes / no /
no-but-keep-it-open decision now, as it will impact on other parts of the
design.
