Michael,
I tried your programs on Windows and Linux. On Windows 98 the USB tower
takes about one second to reply (990 - 1100ms). On Linux it took about 9
seconds as you indicate. This looks like a problem with the Linux USB
driver. I will ask the authors of the driver (Juergen Stuber and David
Glance) if they have any idea what is causing the delay.

setListen does nothing on USB towers, as I did not think it was necessary to
keep the usb IR Tower alive. The serial tower needs the keep-alive messages
that setListen sends, as messages from the RCX to the PC don't wake up the
tower. I could make setListen keep the usb tower alive if it is necessary,
but there didn't seem to be a need for this on Windows. As you probably
know, usb tower support is new on Linux in release 2.1.0.
