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.
