You can send mail, use FTP and place UIR's on webpages with the LabWindows Internet toolkit. This comes in the conectivity toolkit or may still be available on its own - I got it for about £300 - check with NI.
If you have the toolkit the function to send mail is: status=INET_SendMail(char *Server, char *from, char *to, char *subject, char *messageText, char *attachments);
