Sure, but, it is not required to create two channels. 

The "no new MSG until the previous RPY/ERR/ANS received" restriction
only applies to one way for the channel. 

This means that, over the same channel, you can have A sending messages
(MSG) to B, and B sending messages (MSG) to A in an independent manner. 

Under this situation, A could sends new MSG to B as long as B replies to
them (RPY/ANS/ERR), and, independenly, the same applies to the messages
new messages sent from B to A.

Ok. 

Knowing this, and taking into account that, under BEEP, every message
must be acked, you can send a RPY message just received the MSG
containing your single message.
