    Is this possible? A bit of googling tells me it isn't, but I'm secretly hoping someone out there has good news for me!

    Project Mono is a cross platform implementation of the .Net framework which is a requirement of ASP.Net. You might have some luck with the link below.

    Hmm, what about plain old ASP, not ASP.NET?

    Dunno about ASP. Maybe search for an ASP module for Apache or something?

    I'm guessing you've got stuck maintaining some ASP code? :(

    In a good way, yes! :) Cheers fasty.

    Erm.. ok, how do you download a testing platform like WAMP for ASP? I've got an XP virtual PC so want to be able to write ASP code, but I need a testing server, is there a package like WAMP or do I have to find something else? I can find a lot of help on ASP.NET, but little on the net for ASP.

    There used to be an asp module for apache IIRC, but I don't know what it was called. Something with Chilli in it maybe?

    why not a get a virtual winxp machine to run on your Mac? (try goggle) much easier and you won't have strange issues

    ChiliSoft, now there's a blast from the past.

    Looks like Sun bought them out.

    If you have and are currently running an XP virtual pc can you not just use that? If it's XP pro it will run IIS (internet information services) which will run classic ASP just fine.
