Probable race condition in PEP TX task. Moved the final transmission

byte assignment into the point where the busy list is locked.  This
is how the Xycom TX task has worked all along.  This change fixed
seems to have fixed an apparant race condition where the receive task
gets a response to a transmitted message BEFORE the TX task gets
it on the busy list.
