If I were doing something like that, I'd write a Java applet.  It would 
require more horsepower than the Javascript method, as well as having a 
Java plugin installed in the browser, but it would also allow you to 
open arbitrary network connections to wherever you want.  Of course, 
unsigned applets are only allowed to connect to the server from which 
they were loaded (but can connect with any protocol), but signed applets 
can connect anywhere at all.

Peace...  Sridhar
