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

ppmtobmp

ppmtobmp(1)						      General Commands Manual						       ppmtobmp(1)

NAME

       ppmtobmp - convert a portable pixmap into a BMP file

SYNOPSIS

       ppmtobmp [-windows] [-os2] [-bpp=bits_per_pixel] [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads a portable pixmap as input.  Produces a Microsoft Windows or OS/2 BMP file as output.

OPTIONS

       All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix and you can use a double dash in place of the single dash, GNU-style.

       -windows
	      Tells the program to produce a Microsoft Windows BMP file.  (This is the default.)

       -os2   Tells the program to produce an OS/2 BMP file.  (Before August 2000, this was the default).

       -bpp   This  determines how many bits per pixel you want the BMP file to contain.  Only 1, 4, 8, and 24 are possible.  By default, ppmtobmp
	      chooses the smallest number with which it can represent all the colors in the input image.  If you specify a  number  too  small	to
	      represent  all  the  colors  in the input image, ppmtobmp tells you and terminates.  You can use ppmquant or ppmdither to reduce the
	      number of colors in the image.

NOTES

       To get a faithful reproduction of the input image, the maxval of the input image must be 255.  If it is something else, ppmtobmp the colors
       in the BMP file may be slightly different from the colors in the input.

       Windows icons are not BMP files.  Use ppmtowinicon to create those.
