thanks for the input.
I found FWSM software is a lot bugger than ASA's.
I guessed that FWSM's strength is handling traffic and number of sessions.
However, I still am getting little frustrated for the fact it is more pricey
but it has more problems, like Pix 6.x serious. Did anyone have same
impression as me?

Also, I have it as two FWSM blade in one chassis but I was not able to make
active active fail over configuration. I currently have them as active and
passive fail over configuration. I found that a CISCO doc say it is not
allow to do active active configuration in this case. Did I get it wrong or
is that the truth? I will have second chassis soon but I would like to have
them as active active fail over configuration if I can.

Thanks again for your comment.
