noow I heard rumor that apache might have a plugin to allow it to read ASP.
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.
