Hi,

sure there is a way to do.
ALmost all you need is the MAXIM-IC MAX232 which converts 5V TTL to +-12V V24.

The program you need is e.g. KERMIT for the Commodore C64 which emulating a 
V24 with two pins of the user-port. Another terminal program on your PC and 
you�ll be transferring data via RS232 (slowly, but it works!)
