That's true - you could just do null-modem. But it's more fun to telnet. :)

There are other services online that respond to telnet, although it's a diminishing number.

The UDS-10 by itself (or a Win box) might work if the client is compatible.

Easiest way is a telnet connection to a local machine (a local Linux box
with a serial console is ideal).  A Lantronics UDS10 connected to an
RS-232 interface on your Commodore will then let you log into the Linux
box and then run an IRC connection.

Native C64 IRC would be possible, but challenging.

Q-Link has an IRC gateway, too.
