I haven't seen an ASCII art version, but it would be an appropriate
addition to WWWOFFLE or RabbIT, which will rewrite the HTML of a page as
required. (you could turn IMG tags into text OBJECT/IFRAMEs or tables,
perhaps)

RabbIT and Ziproxy will convert images to low quality JPEGs - Ziproxy is
simpler, written in C, and doesn't fiddle with the HTML. You can combine
Ziproxy and WWWOFFLE usefully.
