Rumor, really?  I don't think open source works like that.  We're not 
talking about an Apple product. :)

You may have heard about Apache::ASP (apache-asp.org).  Once installed, 
it allows Apache to work like IIS with classic ASP.

There is one key difference, however: it's based on Perl, rather than 
VBScript.  You will have to rewrite all your code to make use of it.

I wouldn't say that's the biggest problem with Apache::ASP, though. 
Being forced to rewrite VBScript in Perl is more of a feature than a 
problem, in my oh-so-humble opinion.  :)  The real problem with 
Apache::ASP is that it's semi-abandonware.  The web pages are still up, 
the software still works, but it hasn't gotten a new feature in years, 
and even bug fixes are few and far between.
