- is running (including the first) will be delivered using the

- callback function, but with the UserReply augmented to
- include a serial number indicating which reply number this
- is.
- The <em>first</em> reply to arrive,
- will be numbered <em>one (1)</em>. </p>
- </item>
- <item>
- <p>Replies arriving after the timer has expired will be delivered
- in the same way as before, using the
