If I recall correctly, if you watch the console port (9600 8N1) during
bootup, the PIX software version number will be mentioned.
If you had to guess at a version, guess 6.2. The PIX 501 did not
exist until 6.1(1), but 6.1 was not really a long lasting release
and due to security problems and improved functionality, most sites
would have gone to 6.2. If they haven't been actively maintaining the
PIX, they might not have upgraded to PIX 6.3 -- which has also been
out for a few years now. I'm estimating that "several years" likely
places it at 6.2, with 6.3 as a possible.
