Sending/Receiving data from remote app

What is the best / easiest way to send small (<1Kb) data packets to a remote application (known IP address) from an ASP.NET driven web site? The remote app will then send a similar reply packet. It is not a database that is being accessed but a custom application that can be modified to receive and send this data.
Anyone done something similar?how is the remote app usually contacted. Does it send back a httpresponse. or is it some service that returns a stream of characters.
HTTPResponse object if it's replying in http
probably SOCKETS if it's returning data ( like telnet)
I have no experience doing this - but hope that points you in right direction
