Matt, maybe you should not be so concerned with 

trying to put code into the bios; but, rather 

install it to the boot sector of the hard drive.

That is copy the monitoring program to the boot sector

That will launch the "service" you are talking about

And that service can also rewrite itself to the boot

Sector (*hint* *hint* a "boot sector virus", perhaps?)

That can be spread to all of the people's email addresses

That you harvest from this little operation (this would include

An executable attachment that would restore the service to the hard
drive, upon

Execution).  I mean, that is the only feasible means for you to

Have this service installed remotely (that is you will probably

Not be given direct, physical, access to the users computer -- which

Means no hardware or bios chip modifications or EEPROM Reprogramming).
