cheers I'll do that once CVS is downloaded

By this I assume I have to turn off all print servers and remove them
from startup routines??

Does this imply that a sequencer application that uses raw midi and not
the sequencer API can only use one MIDI port on the MTP-AV at a time?

thanks once again...... 

I am also wondering if you have made an rtc patch for the 2.4.4 or 2.4.5
kernel, or is it no longer  necessary (as I have been using Muse I have
not kept up with this although I may have to start using JAzz++ again if
MusE can't see all of the MTP-AV's midi ports even though the interface
is much less user-friendly) 

cheers
