what i want/wish

to use a lightdesk

it's read by lanbox into a max/msp patch
there it's processed

Hmm, I am afraid you can't process two continuous streams of 25000 bytes/sec in MAX. With a lot of effort you can maybe generate it, but the data will not be jitter free.

What do you want to achieve, as maybe there is another approach needed ;-)

forexample

move fader one/dmx adress 001 to full on the desk
and the max/msp patch turns dimmer 002 and 003 to full

You can patch that simply in the LanBox-LCX, no computer or MAX needed.

and is it easy to connect multiple lanboxes
so to have more than one dmxline out

MAX can't handle that. The LanBox-LCX soon supports 3072 light channels, which can be distributed into several universes over Ethernet. LanBox-LCEs and/or LCXes can be used to output the DMX universes.
