ASP does not have master pages, so you can't use them. The most sensible thing to do is to rewrite the ASP page in ASP.NET, while there are still people around who understand what the ASP page was meant to do. There will otherwise come a time when nobody understands that page.
The closest thing I've seen to what you're looking for is to write an ASP.NET page that refers to the ASP page through an IFRAME. The ASP.NET page can be a content page, referring to the master page, and the ASP page can stay the same.
i have used asp and asp.net vb together when i was learning my method was to use jquery to put my asp classic generated html into designated divs... as my leaning increased i needed to use this method less and less its a great way to pick up asp.net C# when moving from a VB background when you dont really have time to learn, like at work.
I think there are thousands of developers that wish for the same thing!
At my company I have to deal with this a LOT as we have some large systems written entirely in Classic ASP, some written entirely in ASP.NET, and some that are hybrid solutions.
Depending on your environment the two can coexist peacefully as long as you don't need to share session state between the two. If you need that, there are a few solutions out there for storing the sessions in a database, but none are very elegant.
Your best bet would be to make a few ASP include files to build a similar look and feel to your Master page, and apply it to your Classic ASP pages until you have the time to rewrite them.
Also, if you have a lot of business logic that you need to share between the two systems, you can take your DLLs and wrap them in COM so your ASP pages can use them too.
A dirty way: Make a HTTP request from the ASP.NET code to the .asp page and store the response in a web control. It's not pretty, but it works.
