C++ Programming

This is just a general question looking for suggestions. I want to use Visual C++ 6.0 to create an application that will allow me to pass traffic from the internet to a special USB device I have designed. Presently I can send to and get responses from the USB device using the code development tools.
My thinking is to create an internet application on the PC side using a port above 1024. By doing that I don't have to get the remote end user to make any changes on their router. I was thinking of maybe creating something similar to a telnet server or maybe a chat client/server.
I will just be passing small commands over the internet which will then be sent out the USB port on the PC to my embedded application. The USB device will just return a "Success" or "Failure" response. Does anyone have any suggestions as what would be the best approach to this?
Thank you.
