Bomb Bloke has written up some good example scripts for me which you can find, along with a bunch of other information, on the MoarPeripherals wiki. There is an entire page dedicated to the BitNet Communications Tower.

EDIT: Have a read and feel free to come back with any further problems you're having and we shall attempt to resolve them.

As per the wiki
MoarPeripherals Wiki said:
To interface with a tower, a computer/turtle must be placed alongside the Controller block at the base. Wired Modems can also be used in order to wrap the tower as a remote peripheral, but only if attached to its underside. Since MoarPeripherals 1.3 towers without an attached system automatically repeats messages it receives.

Okay, so it should be pointed out that only the computers that are attached to the BitNet Towers are able to actually use them, the wired cables that you have running between them, and from top to bottom, both have no use.

What is the code on the right computer that you're using to check if the message has been received? are you getting any errors with either computer?

It is worth noting.
