The question here is what you get back from the device : do you get the entire 
TCP (stack) info 
back, or just the data?

If the former - well, good luck....

If the latter, you would probably "just" get the HTML data back from a webpage. 
Perhaps you 
could start with the (today seriously limited) browser that came with Prowess?
Or even try a pop3 account, that just send ascii data for the control codes.
