I'd be tempted to write a web server based solution anyway. You could
use something easy like python or ruby to create it and have them run it
on the local machines using whatever browser they have to hand to do the
interface. That way once you do manage to get wired together you already
have the bulk of a system built and tested and you can just start
serving it remotely and add an option to send electronically - no
retraining needed.
