This might be just a little off-topic, but I'm wondering what doesn't
impress you about the PIX? I haven't had the time to look into this myself,
but the other guy at the office has been looking at the latest and greatest
PIX for a couple of months, because of it's ability to do user-based
authentication (although nobody know HOW it does that). We're running a
comercial firewall on that super-robust OS right now (NT), but we'll be
replacing that by summertime. User-based policies are the big seller at
this point, which is why we're looking at the pix.
