There are several packages if you do some "googling", but I think that it is
important to exacly know what it is you are trying to *do*. You see, I can't
remember off the top of my head if there is a ready-made DOS 3ds viewer, if
that's what you need. But I recall at least two libraries that parsed 3ds
files (at least the polygon geometry structure ... I am not sure about
texture mapping) that offered source code and then you might be able to port
it to DJGPP and then upload it to a server and then let us others know and
then... :-)


On the helpful side, have you tried starting with
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=de&as_qdr=all&q=3d+studio+3del&lr=

I am not a 3ds pro. I try to stick more to industrial standards like STEP
and IGES for 3d data description. So this is just a possibility for you.
