Hi Doug,

First of all, note that ASP is actually a general term for a way of
doing web pages under microsoft.  The actual language used can be one
of several including VBScript, JavaScript, and, iirc, perlscript.
If the app is written in VBScript, then afaik, the only thing you can
do is try to look into the Chilisoft thing mentioned in another reply.
If it's written in JavaScript, or even better, perl script, you can
try using the mod_perl module Apache::ASP.  I don't know how well it
works, though, so YMMV.

Good luck,
Tanner
