Are you sure that networking the two is out of the question?
1. You did not indicate the Windows version or pSeries machine type/model. AFAIK, every pSeries model built in the last 10 years or more has a built-in Ethernet adapter. And a Windows PC likely either has one or one can be bought for very little money. Depending on the type of adapters, a cross-over cable or some other very simple physical connection will get these two machines connected. If this is an option, try it first. If you need help with the software configuration of the networking, ask back here.
2. There is also the option of using SLIP/PPP link between the systems using a TTY serial port. It will be slow, but it will work. Each system likely has a free TTY port. The cable you need is called a null-modem cable, and the number of pins and gender on each cable end will vary. If you want more advice on this option, ask back again. The Windows configuration of SLIP/PPP is found here: MS Windows SLIP/PPP FAQ from UNET or here http://www.sics.se/~bg/telos/slipintro.pdf
And the AIX configuration is found here: Asynchronous Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Subsystem

NAME
cpmcp - copy files from and to CP/M disks SYNOPSIS
cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image user:file file cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image user:file ... directory cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image file user:file cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image file ... user: DESCRIPTION
cpmcp copies one or more files to or from a CP/M disk. When copying multiple files, the last argument must be a drive or directory. The drive letter does not matter because the device is specified by the image, it is only used to specify which direction you want to copy. The user number is specified after the drive letter, if omitted user 0 is used. You can use * and ? in CP/M file names, which have the same meaning in sh(1) file name patterns. OPTIONS
-f format Use the given CP/M disk format instead of the default format. -p Preserve time stamps when copying files from CP/M to UNIX (not implemented for copying the other way so far). -t Convert text files between CP/M and UNIX conventions. RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, exit code 0 is returned. ERRORS
Any errors are indicated by exit code 1. FILES
