I've found pipes fairly easy to work with, though my experiences are limited to Unix boxen. A couple of thoughts:

1. Are you planning on establishing the pipes once and or on demand? If the first, don't forget to deal with a box going down or loosing network connection and reconnecting.

2. Non-blocking waits are wonderful.

3. Not knowing if this is personal or business, are their any firewall issues? Is any data sentitive (cleartext passwords) to encrypt. This can be additional fun things to dabble in.

4. Can any of the back-end scripts be abused? If so, set up some sort of authentication. This could be combined with encryption from #3.

These aren't to scare you off, I really like pipes. Just some things that may apply, and you might want to explore. Go for it!
