Can ASP script "call" my client application...

Folks,

My client application sends data to ASP scripts on my website, which acts on this data, stores it in a DB, and "replies" to my client app. I am quite comfortable with this. My question is:

Can an ASP script on my website "call/activate/create an event in" my client app (which is running, but not "looking" for anything) when it (the script) is ready to send the app some information? I am trying to keep from having the app always looking at the website for new data to act on.

Thanks,

Ortho
