It's working fine for me, so far. But it's a very small install, and we 
don't use WebSense. 5.2(1) adds SSH support (finally!), so that's a good 
reson to upgrade. Of course, you have to have a VPN license to use it 
(wonderful Cisco...). You can get a free 56-bit DES VPN license from Cisco, 
but have to pay for the 3-DES license. Oh, and you can only install the new 
license by re-loading the firmare on the PIX. Oh, and SSH-DES doesn't work 
with Tatu's unix SSH-1 client (it does with SecureCRT, so I suspect the 
unix code to be at fault, but...). And OpenSSH doesn't support DES.

But I'm not bitter. Really! :)
