Yes, you can definitely use both TCP/IP and UDP at the same time to send
messages with the Multiuser Xtra that comes with Director 8.5. Read the
discussion of connectToNetServer and sendNetMessage in the docs for the
details on how to enable UDP. Also, you need to change the default
settings in your MULTIUSER.CFG file to enable UDP messaging for the SMUS.
