Then to confirm this is correct, I use assp as the name of my port and  
ASSP as the distname?
name			ASSP
distname                assp

That did not seem to work for me, I had:
name			ASSP
version			1.4.3.1
distname		ASSP_${version}-Install

This would yield a bad download for me, it could not locate it. The  
download URL from sourceforge that works is:
http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/assp/ASSP_1.4.3.1-Install.zip

Where does ports get the first 'assp' in lowercase in that url?
