No.

The way you were using it is anyway wrong: discard any packet until there is a 
500ms gap between to consecutive packets does not make much sense from a 
network transport protocol point of view.

And that's the whole point. net_ReadNonBlock() was a pathologically used, and 
not actually needed.
