No a pix with no rules won't even work. When the PIX is shipped you even have to turn on the interface and the security levels. All things are denied by default and you have to add rules to allow traffic to pass through it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but FW1 with NO rules defined (when installing the FW), allows all traffic to pass... I'm not familiar with Cisco PIX, but is that the same case?
