Well the model is similar, but there is no support for VBScript.
I'd be happy to give a go a writing a VBScript emulation layer
which could help your port but I'll need a site's source to base
my work on, will you volunteer yours?

Yes. It has the original ASP API mostly implemented, as
well as extra features like:
More Events http://www.apache-asp.org/events.html
Custom Tags w/XMLSubs http://www.apache-asp.org/xml.html
HTML Compression http://www.apache-asp.org/config.html#CompressGzip
Auto FormFill http://www.apache-asp.org/config.html#FormFill
Site Errors Emailed http://www.apache-asp.org/config.html#MailErrorsTo
Cookieless Sessions http://www.apache-asp.org/config.html#Cookieless%20Sessions
Its also very fast, you can download a benchmark suite
I wrote for comparing Apache development environments at:
http://www.chamas.com/bench/hello.tar.gz
Note the h2000 benchmarks are more indicative of real world
performance, as it tries to measure the runtime speed.

Yes, I'm the author so I'm biased. You might contact
admins running the sites listed at:
http://www.apache-asp.org/sites.html
Skip chamas.com & nodeworks.com as those are my sites.

Check out this faq on database support:
http://www.apache-asp.org/faq.html#How%20is%20database%20connectivity%20handled%3F
Also note that DBD::Sybase is probably the way to go to
get to a MS SQLServer. They both share a common code
base, and that driver is reputed to work. Lots of
people use DBD::mysql, including myself, and its very
fast. Should you got that route DBD::Oracle is
very robust.
Best of luck.
