With a small amount of hacking, rancid could support
	add method sw1.popname {ssh:2001}
as well, so you would be a step closer to sshing to some port on
your terminal server to connect to some device's console.

[I recently turned telnet off in my console servers & started using
ssh instead.  Works nicely & one less use of telnet around here.]

Anyone want to try these changes to clogin to support sshing to a
port?
