An AF_IUCV listener is almost identical to an AF_INET listener. (One
could theoretically modify 'inetd' or 'netcat' to accommodate IUCV
that way.)

But actually, *MSG is the server in this relationship, so we're
talking about a client. He connects and sits there waiting for
traffic; no polling. Sweet! Then crunch the output thru Pipelines ...
wait ... wrong discussion list. But the listener DOES work. BTDT
