[c-nsp] Looking for VMP(S)-Server

Cisco had a Windows based offering that 'spoke' VMPS.  It may still be
available.  2948's and 2980's can act as VMPS servers as well.  Last
time I checked 2948's were around 2k on the used market.

It's certainly quite fast. I've done some testing, and will using in
production test soonish.  You can also make it talk to a custom backend,
e.g. a database.

I've not seen one. Maybe you could recompile it for Windows? It's a
pretty simple bit of software.
