(ASCEND) Naming Conventions update

Once in a while it seems useful to post such information:

With the 6.0.X releases, we introduced the concept of "extended" loads. 
These require a special process to upgrade *to* them from earlier loads, 
so we have added some new image names to include these. The general naming 
conventions can be determined from the following list:

The letters appear in the filename in the order listed below

File Type
=========
   r   Restricted load*
   f   Full extended load**
(No prefix to a filename means the load is thin.)

Manufacturing/Symbol
====================
   d    Diagnostic loads (used only by Manufacturing)
   s    Symbol files (used only by Software folks)

Network Interfaces
==================
   t   T1
   e   E1
   b   ISDN BRI
   52  Switched 56 2 wire
   54  Switched 56 4 wire
   l   DSL

Features
========
   i    IP only (OSPF - no IPX, ARA)
   p    IPX only
   x    X.25
   o    Modem outdial w/ no R2 (E1 m40 loads only)
   a    Appletalk routing
   n    Nortel
   h    PHS
   1    Old hardware (e.g., b1.p50)
   2    New hardware (e.g., b2.p75)
   k    56K modem support
   m    Mod-12 modem support only

Examples
========
   tbix.m40      MAX 4000 T1, BRI, X.25, IP only
   rtx.m40       Restricted MAX 4000 T1, X.25 load
   b.p50         Pipeline 50 BRI
   bn1.p50       Pipeline 50 BRI for Nortel and old hardware
   ebixom.m40    MAX 4000 E1, BRI, IP only, X.25, modem outdial, 12 mod
   l.sds         DSLPipe - SDSL
   l.sp2         DSLPipe - SDSL 2 port
   l.adw         DSLPipe - ADSL Dmt with aWare transceiver
   l.adl         DSLPipe - ADSL Dmt with aLcatel transceiver
   l.aco         DSLPipe - ADSL CAP COE
   l.acp         DSLPipe - ADSL CAP CPE
   t.p22         Pipeline 220 T1
   b1.p15        Pipeline 15
   b2.p75        Pipeline 75 and Pipeline 50 (new Hardware - Version 2),
                 and Pipeline 85

*  Restricted loads are loads that are truncated for compatibility with
older versions that only know how to load "thin" loads. They contain only
enough functionality to run TLOADCODE over IP.  These loads are to be used
as an intermediate step when an upgrade to a full extended load is
required.

** Full loads are complete extended loads that contain full functionality.
