PIX access list using MAC address

Hello,

We have a customer machine that performs automated upload and download
of files to an AS/400.  We have put this machine (and the rest of that
customer's connections) behind a PIX 515 firewall.  The vendor of this
machine claims to use pure 802.3 ethernet packets to communicate by MAC
address I'm pretty sure it's OS/2 they're using(don't ask!).

I've googled and toured the Cisco web site, but have been unable to find
anything for PIX related to access list entries by MAC (although I did
find that some routers/IOS versions seem to).

Does anyone know of a way to get a PIX to grant access via MAC address?

Thanks
CM
