We had it working in version 6 but the upgrade killed the customized config file we had with it's own default template and we didn't have a backup of it.
We were/are using the template (Nortel Passport-1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.30.ConfigMgmt-Commands) file are we wanted to use TFTP to copy both the startup and running configs.
We modified this file to look like this and it doesn't appear to be making to past the login/prompt portion.
