You can upgrade 5.1 and 5.2 Pix Software to support ipsec 56k DES for
free ( if you have a cisco login ( reseller, consultant, or customer )).
The 3DES license has a charge around $1200.00. If you purchase this pix
off of ebay you will need to upgrade the PIX Software to 5.1 or 5.2
( 4.x does not support ipsec ) you will also need 32meg of ram.
hope this helps.
