That's kind of what Jeff Ledger is getting at with his CML project, but
he's invented his own CBM-specific protocol rather than implement the
'standards'.

Alternately, the PC could be running a PPP/SLIP server, or something
like Jim Brain's TCPSer or my BBS Server. The latter two are really
modem emulators, but they do provide the null-modem<->Telnet link you're
looking for.

But once you have Telnet on the C64, why not just Telnet to a Linux box
and use Lynx etc? </devil's advocate>
