I use brinkster also for test purposes, and it seems to work fine: but your only allowed one access database. Also, you should be able to test your scripts locally if your running IIS/ PWS.

I've never used ASP, what is it good for?

[Dr. Web]

ASP is a server side scripting environment. Its not really a language (though it uses vb script as its proprietary language), but it is essentially another alternative to Java Sever Pages (JSP), or CGI/ perl. You can set it up to do just about anything there is to be done on the net...passowrds, databases, logins, multiple user tracking....anything that you need.
Pluses incluse that it is easy to learn...vb script is a take off of Visual Basic-only easier, and very similar to javascript.
Minuses are that it has to be run on a microsoft server....like Personal Web Server (PWS) or Internet Information Server (IIS). This is what brinkster provides for free.

I have installed IIS on my laptop (it comes free with windows), so I can simulate a real working internet while I work on my pages. I use brinkster to simulate real download time.
