The interface listen code was implemented in 4.2.5 and is now released
in 4.2.6. The query-on code is not yet implemented. I had implemented a
version a long time ago but it needs to be revamped before being
released. Shortage of my time has been holding up development. Funding
would help.

I understand. That's why I developed the listen and query-on code.
