[j-nsp] console switch to access juniper devices

[Scott Martin]

I second (or third :) ) OpenGear. We have about a dozen or so of the 48 port models with Cisco pinout. 90+% of all devices are either a straight through or rollover cable. With silver satin cable, easy peasy. We have hundreds of EX switches and dozens of MX routers behind them without any problems at all.
