If by "send and receive messages", you mean, "within the context of
AFS applications", the answer is "no".  If you mean by itself, within
a test program, the answer is "yes"; this has been true for a while now.

It occurs to me that you don't have to wait for me to test out the Sockets
Direct code in the UDP case.  And it _looks_ like to me that you could use
RxTCP today as a NetPIPE module.  Admittedly, it will probably be more useful
when I get the new-world Rx code integrated into RxTCP; right now it's
behavior is kinda sub-optimal.
