Update:

Thank you for your time. Thanks to your feedback, it seems like I am thinking on the right lines.

It turns out that the processing of the records on the server isn't time critical. It can be done later. So, I am going to look into having the applet submit the records as files (compressed, probably several hundered records per file) through SFTP to the server. Than the server can process those files when it sees fit.

This minimizes the work the server has to do when it receives the data, gives me fairly good control when handling modem issues, and keeps me from having to write yet another server.

Thanks,

Ted Young
