[rancid] Nortel Support

[Francois Mikus]

Hello,

I have implemented good ERS-1600, ERS-8600, ERS-8800 and baystack 470 
support. Glad to see 45xx support, I will definitely give it a try!

The only one that is causing an issue at this time is the baystacks. 
After a variable number of runs (100s or 1000s) the ssh sessions become 
stuck on the baystacks and eventuallly all 3 available connections are 
stuck and the switch needs to be rebooted. :-( I expected this is 
related to how rancid closes the ssh connection, but I haven't spent 
much time on testing a fix.

I will put them up on my web site.

Thank you,

Francois Mikus
