some other things that may interest you then:
* KipperGo - my c64 gopher client (part of the netboot65 package
linked to above) - if you haven't come across gopher before, it was an
early competitor to http except its all text based rather than needing
clients to parse html so plays much better on retro machines, as a
result of which there's a bit of resurgence of interest lately

* KipperTerm (also part of the netboot65 package) and other petscii
telnet clients e.g guruterm - if you want something interesting to
telnet to there's a bunch of petscii BBSs still plus I put some
petsciimation 'movies' that got passed on to me online - telnet to
port 6464 on jamtronix.com (read http://www.jamtronix.com/blog/2010/01/25/do-the-petsciimation/
for more)

* KipperKart (again, in the netboot65 package) includes a facility to
download and play .sid files from a remote tftp server. If you set the
tftp server to 'jamtronix.com' you can browse through HVSC online. the
sid play code is a bit flakey - it will handle tracker .sids that load
into $1000 OK, but a lot of game/demo rips (which may still have bank
switching and IRQ twiddling code) can crash it.

* GeoLink - C64 GEOS based IRC client - http://lyonlabs.org/commodore/geoLink/geoLink.html

and the retrohackers.com forums

Cheers

ps - the 1541U-II doesn't support ethernet yet - that will be released
at some indeterminate point in the future. If you want to play with
c64 networking while you wait, check out the 64nic+ card -
