Asks driver to call the procedure whenever a Pup arrives for the RPC socket. Driver guarantees the packet is a legal Pup addressed to rpcSocket. Returns TRUE iff RPCRuntime accepts the packet. If it returns FALSE, driver may re-use the buffer; if it returns TRUE, RPCRuntime promises to give back the buffer by calling ReturnBuffer quite soon, so driver may run with a lower number of input buffers temporarily.
ReturnBuffer:
PROC[BufferDefs.PupBuffer];
argument is a buffer that is now free.
