Tom,

Actually, it does.  Sun bought a company called ChiliSoft which created
a cross-platform ASP interface.  It's expensive, but if you've got to
have ASP, it's the best way to go.  I believe there are others, but the
former ChiliSoft product is supposed to be the best.

Having said that, why bother forcing ASP if you don't have to.  PHP is a
great product, AND it's free, AND it's no harder to learn than any other
language.  ASP is easier to learn for people who have only had
VB/VBA/VBScript experience, but if you have decent programming skills
and can stand learning something new, PHP shouldn't be too hard to pick
up.
