Doug, Thanks for the feedback. My protocol was somewhat specific to the interface being designed. I wanted to embed it into a VBScript script in order to allow it to be more easily integrated into the Window-Eyes environment. I have scripting tools that support both COM and native sockets interfaces but I want my interface to be as generic as possible so as to facilitate distribution. Thus, I was looking for something along the lines of VBScript or JScript. There are a couple of freely available sockets COM objects but I am reviewing those carefully for licensing and distribution specifics.

I don't have details handy, but I think there's a Telnet COM object that comes in Windows. You of course also have stock objects hanging around for HTML and XML that can pull from the Internet. If you're spinning your own protocol or using a non-ANSI protocol of some sort though, this probably won't help much.

You could use VB itself, or (as you mentioned) many other languages to accomplish this.
