[rancid] Nortel and CTRL+Y menu

[Peter Serwe]

Oddly enough for really rare platforms that require specialized methods like
that,
(i.e.:  Log in, execute a backup to a variable file name, then yank it down
with ftp/s/scp),
I've been doing something more along the lines of building an expect script
on the fly and
triggering it to run against $targets.

Remarkably similar to what rancid would do, but modifying rancid other than
relatively minimally
challenges my perl skills.
