You are not storing cookies set by the login page. Consequently, when
you try to access Page.asp, you are doing it without authentication.

Here's a slightly reworked code snippet:

$ch = curl_init();
$email = 'email';
$pass = '*****';
$submit = "Log In";
$curlPost = 'email=' . urlencode($email) .
'&pass=' . urlencode($pass) .
'&submit=' . urlencode($submit);
$cookieFile = '/tmp/myCookieFile.txt';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookieFile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'Login.asp');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $curlPost);
$data = curl_exec($ch);

echo $data . "<BR><BR>\n\n";
curl_close ($ch);
unset($ch);

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookieFile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'Page.asp');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

echo($data);
