In ftelnet.inc you'll see a bunch of properties being set on the Options
object.  Add an 'Options.SplashScreen' property, the value of which is a
string.  That string is the contents of your .ans file, base64 encoded.

You can get the value for this string with a quick script, run under jsexec:

var f = new File('/path/to/my.ans');
f.open('rb');
var splash = base64_encode(f.read());
f.close();
writeln(splash);

(This is done on the fly in my web interface, so that the sysop only needs to
set a value in modopts.ini pointing to the location of their .ans file.)
