But it didn't work when I said

<!-- #include FILE="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.kra-computers.com/test_sites/linkadmin/showlinks.asp"[/URL] -->

So I'm not sure if you can do this...

You can do this..sort of.

If you share out the directory on the other server you should be able to do this...(i think)
<!-- #INCLUDE File="\\MyServer\something\FileName.asp" -->

The funk here is that the remote web server will try to process the asp if you use a URL...You can change the extension of the filename to something else (inc) but then if someone types that into their address bar they are looking right at your code.

well you can also use include VIRTUAL for things on a relative or internet path, and FILE for things on a physical path ( including netshares )
