It isn't "IOS" -- the PIX operating system's name is Finesse. You barely see it in 6.x though; more of it is exposed in 7.x.

7.0 release has been publically announced and the software is due to hit the download site this month. It isn't there right quite yet though.

PIX 7.0 has some major improvements over 6.x . It was in beta testing for most of a year; I hope it's stable...
