[nsp] OOB-Access to Sup720

[Temkin, David]

Unless you need to get to the standby MSFC because something's broken,
then you need a separate connection to the standby Supervisor (ie, to
get on the console and do a "switch console") - you can't do it via
telnet..

The console on the standby hybrid Sup just says nothing ... What Stacy
said makes me think to use two cables. OTOH I found it very handy just
to be able to do "ssh switchx.oob" without having to think about which
Sup720 is active.
