I have some of these, although I haven't got around to getting rancid to 
work with them yet.

If you are using the default AOS CLI, then you may have more success using 
alogin and arancid rather than hlogin, which are for Alteon's WebOS.  If 
you see the commands in arancid, they are much the same.  However, I 
suspect some refinement will be required, which would be useful to feed 
back into the alogin/arancid modules.

The reason why I haven't done this is because for familiarity reasons, I 
changed the command mode to be the IOS-like interface rather than the AOS 
one.  Unfortunately it isn't near enough IOS-like for plain cisco 
rancid/clogin to work well enough just yet, from what I recall.

Hope that helps a bit,

Jethro.
