Thanks for the info.  Some of this is new since I last looked (and it
wasn't all THAT long ago.)  The good news is that I was wrong and
you can have the FW feature set w/crypto.  Either the Cisco
(non-standard) crypto or IPSec flavor.  It's available now as
an 11.3T release.

The bad news is that the names imply that it's still limited to
56-bit.  Isn't there a longer bit-length that's considered mandatory
for IPSec (3-DES or some such) or was that just wishful thinking
on my part?

For those interested (and who can read Cisco IOS descriptions) below
is the list I got when I selected export-controlled IOS releases.
