John: If it is within their firewall, you can use "netcat" for this. No programming necessary! However serious consideration to security is required.
Otherwise rolling own perl daemon might be an option. __________________________________________ Ranga Nathan / CSG Systems Programmer - Specialist; Technical Services; BAX Global Inc.

You need to process it in a stream for the most versatile results, but there should be no upper limit.
