That cisco box is called PIX -- PIIX sounds like some intel thing..
Current baseline binary contains ECN, and CCNA may or may not know it.
Oh yes, PIX code is not IOS, it is something else -- because it wasn't
Cisco product originally, but something what Cisco bought...
I haven't followed up on what Local Directory product it, probably same
PC hardware (+ disk) as PIX, but a bit different software suite.

Bruhaha... PIX has MailGuard feature, which fucks up SMTP protocol
royally in some old versions. I see that buggy version still running
deployed even though fixes were done back in May 1998 ...

Why do I see it ? VGER's ZMailer uses extensively that "rare" extended
SMTP feature which is where it happens, and my employer runs that same
software in couple large ISP SMTP relays..
