Learning to configure firewalls

Hello All,

I would like some feedback about the approach to take to learn how to configure/troubleshoot firewalls.

I am debating between getting ahold of a pix firewall device (maybe a PIX 505, etc.) or perhaps a 1700 series cisco router with Cisco IOS + firewall feature set.

In light of the fact that Cisco will eventually make PIX more and more like IOS, should I even bother learning PIX or should I just get the

1700 series router with firewall capabilities.

If you recommend the Cisco 1700 series firewall, what is the exact model that comes with firewall capabilities?

Thanks in Advance,

Adil
