[j-nsp] My first juniper... kinda...

[Steven Brenchley]

There is a third option,  There is a new hybrid of junos and screenOS coming
available in 9.0.  It uses the same routing stuff from the J-series but adds
the sreeenOS features to the services area.  Configuration is much the same
as junos except adds much simpler setup with nat, ipsec and such.
