In order to get the Win9x machines to participate in the NET SEND messages you need to install the messaging service for Win9x call WinPOPup.

This is a Windows Component- part of the Windows Setup - System Tools in Add/Remove Programs.

Once installed Winpopup needs to be active in order to receive messages and therefore should be added to the Startup menu so that it is activated a bootup and running all the time like the NT message service ready to receive messages. If a user deactivates/closes it they will not be able to receive/send messages.
