asp on Linux apache

[Cyber Source]

Thanks everybody but I didn't really want to screw with the server for 
the .asp stuff so I just had Jesse create a new form using perl, took 
way less time and works perfectly. If getting .asp stuff to work in 
Linux Apache is anything like getting frontpage to work, forget it, been 
there, done that, with Bob's help, we got frontpage working but with 
alot of screamin and swearin, lol. My clients are well handled with php 
and perl, we only did the frontpage thing for a couple of my clients 
that do there own administration.
