Time-code sync issues...(help!!)

[todd reynolds <toddreynolds@rcn.com>]

Two quick questions... If y'all would indulge...

1.  Is there a controller number or note number for Start Point which I
could send from MAX/MSP?  And the same for changing 8th/beat on the fly?

2.  Is anyone else using Time Code to drive their Obie from a computer?  
I'm
having a REAL tough time resolving syncing issues... There is drift, not
exact record triggering, yada yada...  Any advice or known difficulties
would be appreciated...

Thanks all...
