three additional notes:
1. PIX uses stateful inspection to verify connection requests
to effectively reduce the chance of a successfull DOS
attack.
2. Since the PIX uses the micor-kernel, it can handle *many*
more connection requests than full blown OS firewall's.
> 1. The product is new and is still maturing, upgrades are coming pretty
> quick.
3. Among these upgrades, as I understand it, are a) more IOS like
command set and b) web based config/management along the lines
of the successful NETSYS tools.

> Your #3 is not quite right.
> You can add at least one additional card the the PIX.
> I'll add a few more comments.
> 2. The docs are not the best but there is not much to configuring a
> PIX.
> 3. The logging need work but there is a syslog monitor you can get for
> the PIX that looks (not using it yet) pretty good.
> 4. The support team has really gone all out to answer my silly
> questions in the past.
> 5. I will agree the configurablility is limited but as a "firewall" the
> ease in configuration is not really a flaw.
