All this for $169. Not too bad. I was able to replace two M-Audio 8x8 hardware MIDI interfaces with this software. The icing on the cake is everything works perfectly. The company claims their driver has the lowest latency of any MIDI solution, hardware or software. I was skeptical but honestly it works fantastic? If you have two computers that you want to talk to one another via MIDI there is no way better than MidiOverLan CP. You can go to their website and download a fully working demo of their software. It works for 14 days? after that you have to pony up the $$$.

It looks like you have this functionality built right into the heart of Mac OS X Tiger, out tomorrow.
Thus, I'd say $169 is a rip-off given Mac OS X's $129 price tag (and free with a new Mac)
