[j-nsp] Native ScreenOS / J-Series / SSG-M

[Joseph Soricelli]

Ben-

Great info, thanks!

The customer is looking for this "down the road" but I personally  
think they've just gotten frustrated working with 8.5 on their J2320.  
I definitely plan on doing my best to keep them on JUNOS-ES!! ;-)

Thanks,
Joe
