Cisco definitely uses some x86 hardware. PIX firewalls are basically PCs,
according to my docs (about 2 years old I think) low end PIXes are
Pentium200, high end PIX is PIII-1000 ... they might now have more horsepower
these days but I expect they're still x86.
The PIX is claimed to run a different operating system (FOS) from Cisco
routers (IOS). Not sure if that's just a marketing gimick or if the core OS
really is differnt. Also don't know if typical Cisco routers are built
around the x86 cpu.
