[c-nsp] Cisco out of stock?

[Abello, Vinny]

We've also been seeing large delays with various Cisco ASA models and ended
buying up as many as we could from any vendor that could get them in stock.
We were being told it was due to a materials shortage on Cisco's end.

They've had this problem across many product lines for over a year now 
(4900, 6500, ASA, Nexus, 3560s, etc).  We keep hearing that management is 
working on it.

Unfortunately, we've already had a few customers that can't tolerate 4 
months lead time, canceled orders and went with the competition.
