Has anyone had experience with chili soft. i have heard good bad and ugly.
good-gives clients ability to use asp
bad not asp-mail(but why would anyone demand this cr*p) ugly glitches that cause admin headaches when least expected

What would an honest host call this service
'pseudo NT hosting'? or do you just advertise all the way with the NT label?

Have a look at Tera-Byte http://www.tera-byte.com - they use CHiliASP and they just advertise the fact they use 'ASP'.

ChiliASP has a notorious reputation for being hard to set up, especially if your *nix configuration is not a standard vanilla type.
