[c-nsp] outbound connections from ASAs

[nick.nauwelaerts at thomson.com]

Heya,
We currently have a few asa 5510's & 5520's in the field, running 7.2(2)
code. However, we found after troubleshooting an issue it seems that
this code lacks any form of making outbound tcp connections from the
firewall itself. Sure, you can ping & traceroute, but outbound telnet &
ssh seems to be lacking.
Is there any hidden knob to activate this or is that code just not
present? While telnet could be useful to troubleshoot a few things, at
this time we could really use it as a second path to our remote serial
device to upgrade rommon code on our 2800's.

Thanks.
