You indicate that you have PIX 6.3(4) and that you have a 515.
The 515 supports 3 physical interfaces, even with the restricted
version, so if you have additional public IP space or can subnet
the public IP space, there are approaches you can take with adding
an interface.
The 515 also supports "logical" interfaces, which are 802.1Q VLANs.
To use those, you still need the same kind of IP space requirements
as for a physical interface, and you also need a WAN router that
supports 802.1Q VLANs, but you don't need to purchase a physical
interface.
:Have you got any clue about what an update to version 7.0 costs
PIX-SW-UPGRADE= is the part number, and the list price appears
to be $US1000, street price around $US700.
Historically, Cisco has usually allowed people to go on SmartNet
(and receive upgrades as part of the SmartNet entitlement) if they
have been off support for less than 1 year. The appropriate part
number would appear to be CON-SNT-PIX515 or possibly CON-SNT-PIX515R .
I am having difficulty finding US pricing for either part number;
it looks like the price is around $US1200 at most places -- but
possibly as low as $US325 . One place claims that you should be
able to use CON-SNT-PKG7 -- if so then that's around $US650.
I would suggest asking a company that regularily does SmartNet
contracts.
