Martin's question is not nonsensical, and I imagine he understands the
applicable networking concepts.
His goal is to replicate the original dialup user experience and add a
useful modern component - it's hard to justify keeping large machinery
around if it's only there to look at. By adding the Google part, even if
text-only, he can bring a bit of modern use to ancient but nostalgic
hardware.

Something like Google-interface but convertedto match ASCII terminals

Your question is nonsensical. An internet connection is an Internet
connection. What you run over it is up to you.
Whereas I doubt a '70s mini will have a text-mode browser such as
Lynx, Links or W3M, many will have TCP/IP. Just telnet to a Linux box
and run one of those, or something akin.
From your question, I suspect you don't understand how TCP/IP and the
WWW work. You need to learn that first before you can do this. It's
not very hard or super-complex.
