hi:

The asp's files ara rendered by a server...creating to the client (browser) an html (standard language for any platform). The server must have a program that understand this language, like IIS in microsoft OS or ChiliASP on Linux... and don´t know if there is any webser to mac thas work with asp's.

In my opinion, because this language was created by microsoft, you have the best support in Microsoft OS, like windows 2000, think about purchase a Pc.

Good Luck

Personal Web Server for Win9x can support ASP.

There is a version of Personal Web Server available for Mac at

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q164/5/71.asp

but I cannot comment on its support for ASP. I have serious doubts, but I wish you luck.

I know it supports static pages and FTP, but beyond that I know little.

Oops! I spoke too soon.

Take a look at

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q164/0/57.asp

which is the README from the package I mentioned earlier. It says there IS some limited ASP support, which amazes me in itself, but also has caveats about how well this dialect of ASP matches more recent versions.

I guess the Mac community was so hostile that MS never went beyond 1.0 with PWS for Mac.
