[rancid] New device type

Thanks Dan.

Your explanation makes sense.  Which script normally defines this
delimiter?  I would be happy to settle for the moment in just
short-circuiting this delimiter check so I can I can get the job running.
Have included device config below.  Don't worry about the passwords - its a
test unit with factory default config.

Escape character is '^]'.
