PIX Emulator for Linux

Well, they have done it again. Someone has now emulated the PIX firewall/ASA on PC, completely in software. The underlying technology is QEMU, which is an open source virtualization package. I ran the latest 7.x code, and it works great. Only conern is that there didn't see to be an "idlepc" feature, similar to dynamips. In time, I suppose.

At any rate, it's somewhat hard to find the binaries, though. You can begin here (hint, look in hacki's forum).
