[c-nsp] ASA Firewall vs IOS

[Paul Stewart]

Thanks... I was afraid of that.  Have ran FW on IOS for various reasons but
it's definitely no match for the ASA stuff... got a couple of offline
replies stating that MSN still isn't blockable at the application level in
the FW Feature Set.. shame...

:)

It's not as powerful/flexible/usable as one would expect/hope.  I have many 
customers that just turned it off.  Not ready for primetime on the IOS.
