Plain ASP?  You can't.  However, you _can_ do ASP.NET on Linux, but only 
if the language of the pages is done with C# and not VB (the DLL's can 
be created with whatever language you want).

Not possible.

Are you sure, though, that it uses ASP?  Just because the extension is 
ASP doesn't mean that it is.  A lot of web development tools just use 
server-side includes, but call them ASP pages, and Linux _can_ do server 
side includes.
