: No Bob, the question is, HOW to set it up!  :-)

: Is it easy to do?  Are there any FAQs about this?

It is a fairly easy process to set up something like this.  One would write a
script to retrieve the gif from a URL and pipe it through the Gifscii program
and then return the output to the person who made the query.  If you some one
is willing to put the scripts on their web server I would be happy to write the
form and a perl script to handle the request.  Feel free to reply through
private mail if you are interested.  Thanks.
