Default Clarification: using excel to send data to ethernet device over TCP/IP

Here is what I am doing:
1) Downloading a table of temperatures from a website
2) Getting a specific temperature from the table.
3) Sending this temperature to an ethernet to serial converter/server
that is addressable
a. This server will automatically route the data to a serial port
on my device.



I was thinking of scheduling an excel web query everyday to get the
temperature data from the internet, but how can I automate sending
this data to a device over the network?

I was hoping to use VBA to do this, but am open to working with C++,
Visual Basic, etc.

Has anyone done anything like this?

Thanks,
Don
