I forgot to mention that i ran my test mockup of the last two commands
concurrently in two shell terminals. (The fifo consumer waits until
tee(1) writes data to the fifo.)

I now tested that this works in a single bash or dash session, if the
middle command is started as background process so that the last line
can be performed, before the middle onec ends.
I.e.:

  netcat -u PORT1 <~/fifo &


Have a nice day :)
