[c-nsp] Editing the startup config on the fly

[Nigel]

Version is 12.3(11)T2 IP Broadband.

I've been looking at the config management config.

Thanks for the link Brian @ cisco.

I think for now there is no choice but to send a modified config to the box
via a network service and copy it to startup.

Thanks all for your help.

	What IOS are you running?

	there is some config managment/diff/rollback stuff that went into
12.2(25)S and 12.3T
