One thing you may want to consider is connection/object pooling.  Why not
write an object that connects to the 3000 and keeps the connection open,
then pool that object?  .NET has that capability
(http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/toc/6723.asp)  This simplifies the
socket programming on MPE and probably gives you a performance boost since
you won't have to keep negotiating new sockets.  This approach also gives
you the ability to have multiple web servers sending data to the 3000.

FWIW.
