I don't know if you are aware of this, but Ohio State has written an add-on to Ariel that takes an Ariel transmission, converts it to PDF, and provides an interface for patrons to retreive it from a web browser.
Prospero is a Web-based document delivery system designed as a
complement to the Ariel ® software system. [...]
Prospero contains two modules. The first is a staff module runs on
any Windows 2000/NT/98/95 and captures and converts Ariel files
(TIFF images) to Web accessible documents (PDF files). [...]
The second module is a server-side / user interface which allows
patrons to retrieve their documents using any Web browser.

We don't use it at the law library where I work, but I've heard good things about it...
