That's not very nice of it. :-)

That wasn't the question, though. The question is will the PIX fragment
packets? It acts more or less like a router, doesn't it? If a 1500 byte
packet came in and needed to be forwarded to an interface that has only a
500 byte MTU, would the PIX fragment?

Maybe it's not an issue because MTUs usually match on PIX interfaces? But
they don't necessarily match and they can be changed.
