Accessing net send via web page?

Hello all,

Here's what I'm picturing: a simple form on my website that will allow users to send me an "instant message" via net send or similar program without having the website visitors install any client.

It's just like a mail form, but instead of receiving the message via email, I would like to be notified instantly via net send or something similar.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

 
I'm not familiar with Windows web servers, but I would think there is some sort of security issue in allowing a web app to run the net program. If there isn't or if you can get around it, I'm sure you can do it with a system call.

Of course, this can easily be used to spam you or DOS your system if you don't do it right. Also, don't count on this to message other people, since most people I know turn off the Messenger service.
 
I just need it to send an instant message to my computer. That's why I don't want any of the clients to install any software.
