Hi,

I don't have tcl installed, but I tried the same sort of setup,
just sending commands across nc. e.g, in Linux (Mint):

	mkfifo tempfifo
	csound -L tempfifo myinstr.csd

In another window:

	nc -l 1234 >tempfifo

On my PDA (running termux):

	nc 192.168.1.6 1234	#to the Linux machine
	... and type some commands that myinstr accepts

Works fine, so I don't think it can be in the nc link or the fifo.
tcl may be doing something odd.

Can you trap the output of your tcl script directly?  Also
try what I did, and type in strings to send?

Good luck.
