I'm not sure what you asking..
1)  SIS doesn't give you the capability to be a web server--it is just a 
    client to view and interact with Web pages.
2)  If you were to host web pages off the IIgs through your telnet port
    (I'm assuming your telnet port is the standard port 23, but then I
    can't figure out how you did this without TCP/IP), then SIS will work
    with that.   If pages are accessable via lynx with the address:
    http://www.lost-gonzo.com:23/, then it will work with SIS as well.
3)  I see you mentioned a serial connection to your IIgs, you can create
    your SIS network library (specifications should be available after
    SIS is released) and access HTML files through your own custom way.
    SIS was written to have alot of flexability....   The novice IIGS
    user gets a Web Browser, the IIGS hacker can have a new toy to
    customize in their own situations.

I do not understand what you mean by this.  If you set up a Web Server that
could interact with an Apple II running Proterm through cgi scripts, you
could pipe screen data to the Web Server and have it format the page into
HTML.  I do not see how something like that would work.
