[PD] sending band/float/symbol via network to pd-vanilla

It took my a while to figure this out but now it works.
Thanks for the hint.

Now I use a netreceive with an empty message box.
To send a bang to "test123" I transmit the following via tcp from the game.

set;                  // clears the box
addsemi;              // just adds a ;
add test123 bang;     // adds my message: test123 bang;
bang;                 // trigger rerouting and transmits bang to test123

Just in case somebody encounters the same problem.

Currently the above solution works good enough for us. So I did not try
this one.
