I don't see why. By "Linux workstations" I assume you're talking about the
desktop PCs that the call center users have, not the servers in the back
room. By the time it hits the browser ASP code is just HTML (just like JSP,
Cold Fusion, static HTML, Net.Data, etc.) so it works fine in a Linux
browser too (probably Opera or Mozilla). 

Now, one can create a browser-based application that is tied to a specific
browser, but you can do that from any language. One could create a JSP app
that only worked in IE, or an ASP app that only worked in Opera. All you
have to do is take advantage of some browser-specific extenion, but unless
you have a real good reason for doing so, I'd argue against it.
