In case any of you missed this from one of the recent LUG Digests, here is a
post that details how to use a second mac as a "slave" EXS 24 player:

You can do this and it works very well.
In the Environment:

From Physical Input – draw a single connection from output #1 to Channel
Splitter 
input #1. 
Draw 16 sequential connections from Channel Splitter #1 to 16 sequential
Audio 
Instrument Tracks. 
Insert an EXS24mkII into each Audio Instrument Track.
To each Audio Instrument track insert an I/O plug-in.
(Stereo>Logic>Helper>I/O).
When the I/O Plug-in pops up on the screen, assign any bus to its output (1
-2, for 
instance) and assign another bus to its input (1-2, for instance). Then put
 the plug-in 
into BYPASS mode. This forces Logic to treat this channel as a live input,
thereby 
eliminating any latency that would otherwise occur. Make sure each channel
in Logic 
is set to receive on sequential individual MIDI channels, not set to ALL.
Record enable 
all channels. It seems to work with the channels not record enabled too,
just not for 
the MachFive channel (if you want to setup that sampler as well).

Repeat this entire setup adding more Channel Splitters each with 16 Audio
Instrument 
tracks. (Draw a single cable from the Physical Input output #2 to Channel
Splitter #2, 
then another cable from the Physical Input output #3 to Channel Splitter #3,
etc.) 

Put Logic into PLAY mode (create a 2 bar loop).

In my setup, I have G5 #1 running Digital Performer under DAE (in AudioMIDI
setup, I 
created different MIDI Devices that represent G5 #2 running Logic – one
device for 
each group of 16 MIDI channels).

That's it! 

On a Macintosh G5 Dual 2 Ghz I've so far setup 48 EXS24mkIIs, plus an
instance of 
MachFive (playing 16 channel
