There is another way using interlaced gifs - basically one gif contains 
a few images which each overwrite the previous one. It works with any 
software which displays interlaced gifs properly, and doesnt have many of 
the disadvantages of the server-push abomination. I dont know how you 
make them, but I dont think any of the FreeBSD ports will help you.
