Client Server between VB and ASP .NET -- dotnet general

dotnet general : Client Server between VB and ASP .NET

Hey all,
I'm wondering if it's possible to create a program in VB.NET that
would be able to 'talk' to a ASP.NET DLL (or website for that matter)
in a client-server fashion?

Let's say something like an IRC thick client (written in VB.NET) that
would be able to call the ASP.DLL (the server) to communicate with all
other 'clients' that are logged into the 'server'?

If something like this IS possible where might I go for more

Allowing a VB app to talk to ASP.NET dlls: this is called 'web services'

That doesn't mean that they will be able to talk to EACH OTHER. That's a
different problem altogether.

Look for articles on creating a chat client or a peer-to-peer client

Hmmm.. that's the point. I would like to figure out how to make them
talk to each other. The problem is that I can't afford a 'real' .NET
hosting service. So I'm stuck with using something like Brinkster.

Since they will not allow full services to be run on the free accounts
(or any of the accounts for that matter) I'm looking for a why 'around'
the program, to still allow me to test out a client-server style of
application.
