Cisco PIX v. 7 software for 501?

[JMCraig]

Hi Folks,

I noticed this interesting-sounding comment in the VPN forum:

Ok, I stand corrected. The hairpin problem was fixed in Cisco security appliance version 7 (PIX/ASA). So disregard any statements as to "traffic not being able to leave the same interface it came in on". OP states ASA 5510 ver 7.2, so it is supported [on the configuration in question].

This particular issue is a real pain and before I give up on my PIX 501's and send them off to eBay buyers, I'd be very interested to know if the v 7 software is available for the 501. And, if it is, what kind of support contract or whathaveyou I'd need to have to get it (since Cisco seems to no longer provide much in the way of downloadable updates).

No, 7.0 code isn't supported on the 501 or the 506. You can buy an ASA 5505 and it works great. What is your issue?
