Booth,

If you can cobble together a little vb or vc++ or whatever program that can 
use activex controls, you could use the data queue control that comes with 
the client access toolkit. It's super easy to use. If you can ping the 
AS/400, you can send it data. There's not much danger of anyone doing 
anything untoward - no command line access or anything, just a data pipe to 
the program that knows what to do with the transactional data.
