Managed ASP Web Hosts?

maumedia asks: "I'm hoping someone can help me here, as I'm nearing frantic on this issue. I need a good Windows/ASP managed host -- a company that will manage/troubleshoot a dedicated server for us. My research has turned up either shared hosts, or dedicated hosts, and not very much in-between. If we're not ready to hire a sysadmin and pay for our own backbone, but we've outgrown the massively-shared hosting system, where can we go? I'm really hoping for an answer that doesn't involve a move to PHP/Linux, as it makes much more sense to us to utilize the resources we have at hand."

Daemon Tools

[Decker-Mage]

Off-topic but not off-reply. There are legitimate uses for tools such as Daemon-Tools. After buying my fourth set of Diablo II/LoD CD's, I got more than a little irritated and that is not the only copy protected game that I have had to replace over the years. Now I use Daemon-Tools and play from an image file on my hard-drive and if Blizzard or anyone else doesn't like it, tough. They have enough of my money already. I do not pirate.

I'm not surprised that Daemon-Tools doesn't work though on Wine given that it is a kernal level driver. There is a way around that if you can use iSCSI. Use a iSCSI initiator on the Linux side and something like StarWind on the Windows side to present the Daemon-Tools virtual CD to Linux. It'd be very weird, but it would work. [Why you would want to do that, I have no idea unless you have no, or s-l-o-w, Windows boxen and are running Daemon in a VM. REAL weird!]
