Now the question is : Why?
Just get a C compiler and make Gifscii on the apple - II. By the time
you go through an internet connection through your modem, your computer
could have the picture decoded already!
Unless you're worried about larger gifs, I don't think a gifscii server
is that necessary. It would be easy to set up, though.
