yes.  its like customers asking for frontpage support on unix because windows is
unreliable.  Logic would indicate that maybe they shouldn't be using frontpage
then, but when everyone with a copy of frontpage is a developer...

The goal being to allow "developers" who want to use ASP because they are
incapable of grasping perl/PHP/etc... to develop or migrate sites to our unix
based servers.

You are preaching to the choir as we use Perl/PHP to accomplish all our server
based programing and scripting. Telling clients however that they need to
migrate their code over to Perl/PHP just means we lose them to someone
supporting windows/ASP.
