[cisco-nas] stable, but recent, IOS for 5350

[Tassos Chatzithomaoglou]

We had some issues with the DS0 counters (sh contr e1 call) on the last 12.3 we tried. This also 
affected our snmp graphs of active calls (cpmDS1ActiveDS0s).
12.3(18.8) seems to solve the problem, so it might be a good idea to wait for 12.3(19), if you need 
this kind of monitoring.
