please note any problems, I'll try to add solutions here.

1) using ProxySpace with more than one client, with separate bus spaces

before you start

remember to synchronize your system clocks. This can be done by:

in macOS

SystemPreferences>Date&Time: set "Set Date & Time automatically" to true.

in Linux

set the ntp clock

a local time server is better than the apple time server. if you cannot sync the time, you can set the server latency to nil. This will break the pattern's functionality though.

a) boot the (remote) server and create a local model

s = Server("serverName", NetAddr(hostname, port));

s.options.maxLogins = 16; // or the maximum number of participants in the network

s.boot; // you cannot directly boot a remote server instance, but this initializes everything that is needed

serverName

can be any name

hostname

is an ip address, or if you have a name resolution, a network name

port

the port on which the server is listening. default is 57110

see Server

b) from each client, initialize the default node and set notify to true:

s.boot; // this will initialize the tree and start notification

​

// if needed, a server window can be created:

s.makeWindow;

c) now create a ProxySpace from the server:

xxxxxxxxxx

p = ProxySpace.push(s);
