I want to use my C64 as a terminal primarily on BSD 4.2.

I want 80 columns so I guess I need an 80 column adapter and 
a decent monitor.  I have just started looking and the only 80 column
card I have found is from Protecto for $99.  Monitors seem cheap.
I think I want at least a 12" monchrome. Protecto has them for $99.

I have Commodore's cheapo modem and their 64term package.

Is this going to work? What else do I need?  Money is not  the
biggest concern, I want something that will work without hassle.
Can you recommend anything better?

What do you do about the UN*X characters that are not on the C64
keyboard? Or, are they all there someplace?  

What about a termcap for this setup? does any one have one or any pointers?

Are there any good terminal emulator packages?

I assume any responses will be interesting enough to submit to the net
but I will gladly summarize anything I get. Thank you.
