I found a voss.pm somewhere about two years ago (but can't any more), 
I've attached it, and here's what I have in my /etc/rancid/rancid.types.conf

voss;script;rancid -t voss
voss;login;clogin
voss;module;voss
voss;inloop;voss::inloop
voss;command;voss::RunCommand;terminal more disable
voss;command;voss::ShowSysinfo;show software

voss;command;voss::ShowSysinfo;show boot config sio

I dug into my archives and found pplogin and pprancid which I last used in 2012 or thereabouts.  I'll try attaching them here.  Perhaps they can provide some clues on how to get VSP7000 to work.
