[rancid] Re: cisco or cat5

[Chris Stave]

It depends on the OS you're running, on the 3750 you should definately be
using cisco, for the 6509 it depends on if you are running IOS or CatOS...

Generally, unless you're running CatOS, which you can't do on most devices,
you'll want cisco as the device type.
