Hi,

You mean, the PIX's OS was designed from the scratch? Without any input from
anything? Then they got pretty good developers at XYZ [the company the PIX
was originally designed by, before Cisco bought them]...
This is a discussion constantly coming back to the list (Paul, you can add
this to your auto-poster...) and each time, after two weeks I forget the
results... could anybody with the necessary insight plaese clarify the
question:
is the PIX's OS based on BSD [that's what I assume... my 2 cents...] or
based on XYZ [put in OS of your choice] ... or something completely
different ... or something created by mossad or...
I'm too lazy to search the archives right now...

I'm using Cisco routers and the PIX on a daily base [I even got a PIX 520 in
my living room... damn poser I am] and I can certainly state that this is
not true.

Lots of do.

So why do you think there's a move towards IOS style access-lists in newer
versions of the PIX?
Cisco would not act economically reasonable if they didn't harmonize
'classic IOS' and PIX OS.[any comments on this from somebody @ cisco ?]

And mine...
