[j-nsp] JUNOS 10.4S6 for EX8200 - PR/676826

[Nathan Sipes]

I have had similar experiences to Richard's with the "Free SRX210H" I even
managed to get a DSL PIM in there as well. Had it up and working for about 2
months when the pim quit forwarding traffic randomly. Rebooting the SRX
seems to fix it well enough though... I will say that the free hardware has
cost a lot of my time and some annoyed phone calls from my wife when netflix
doesn't work.
