this will first send a regular rednet message with the string "sendstring" so the receiving side knows to expect a string, this is required for a "listen" program that listens for incomming calls.
unlike rednet.send, this is a multi step process that verifies if the string has been received intact by the other side, it's the "TCP" to rednet's "UDP"
 
after this the string you include is properly transmitted to the other party.
