[c-nsp] Anyone using PIX 7.0?

[Michael Bloom]

Hi,

I would be very careful about version 7. We have had many problems moving 
from version 6.3 to 7.01.  Among these have been crashes (due to inspection 
problem, memory corruption, and tcp intercepts, sporadic disconnects, 
logging problem,  and problems with Microsoft vpn (client to server) 
disconnects.   Cisco has been working really hard to find the causes of 
these problems but we only have a few of them fixed at this point.  If it 
were me, I would wait until they get these bugs fixed if this is a 
production environment that can't afford frequent hiccups..

just my 2 cents..
