IP sockets also open the possibility of cross platform systems, if a standard
for communication is agreed on.  Like a Linux box driving the hardware and a
Windows box doing the tracking, as an example, or a PC-Mac combo, or just the
case where the computer with the computational grunt for tracking is in one
room and there's a simple Linux or win95 box in the shack to drive the
hardware.
