   Well, what can i say. That was me who wrote that. And on my
system, SendIO (which i thought called PutMsg) did not set the 
type to NT_MESSAGE. I had to set it by hand in internet.device,
else the type was always NT_REPLYMSG. 
   What is going on here? I don't know. ALl i know is that
on my machine, in the driver, i had to jam the message type
else it never changed back from NT_REPLYMSG.
