Cool project : http://asa_project.gromnet.net/ uses qemu to virtualize
the cisco asa firewall. The ISO on the page boots DSL - damn small
linux which starts the qemu emulation. I started it in VirtualBox,
created a serial device with options "HostPipe" path "/tmp/foo"
Started up minicom with a serial port set to "UNIX:/tmp/foo" and that
worked.

From here I have command line interface the the ASA. Now to see if I
can load an updated image ...
ciscoasa(config)# sh ver

Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.0(2)
