There are a lot of differences, but I only remember a few specific "nitty
gritties" I learned from installs (haven't touched the PIX's in about 6 or 8
months). The PIX (as with most good firewalls) can detect sync packets that
have not been sourced from you (FW IOS does not). Meaning a hacker cannot
spoof as a continuing TCP session. Also- the PIX is not vulnerable to
anything NTP, because network time has been removed with this device.
