[nsp] Console logging

[Paul Stewart]

We always disable the console ports unless working on the unit directly..
It's a simple command to turn it on and off if you're connected :)

All our routers use remote syslogging back to a "logging server" where our
logs are scanned and reviewed etc...  Syslog-ng on Linux works great for our
needs..

no logging console


Should *always* be disabled, your system will lock up if its enabled and it
is 
generating more messages than the com port can handle.
