The most expedient way to do this is probably to get the source for
NCSA Telnet.  It includes a small program, "minitel", which is a
minimal single-session telnet.  Minitel expects input from the PC
keyboard and outputs to the screen, but it would be a fairly easy
matter to modify the code to use a serial port instead.

NCSA Telnet is available via anonymous ftp from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu.
