ISTR that someone in past has even put online a C64 as www server (!)
but don't know if this feat is actually feasible on a fully-expanded VIC....

Yes, the Comet64 works with both the C64 and the VIC-20. In fact, I am also
connected wirelessly to the internet on my VIC-20 with a special wireless
ethernet bridge adapter.

While I am using a telnet BBS service to post here from my VIC-20, I imagine
that if I had a lot of free time I would write a simple USENET reader to
post here. It's just a matter of telnetting to port 110 of your ISP's news
server and then running the appropriate commands. At least I think that's
how it works.

Connect up to that link from your old computers and take a picture, send it in for bragging rights.
While a C64 is on the list, I don't recall seeing a vic-20 on it.
you can probably use the code the C64 person used to display it on his computer, source is there.
