I don't think there is anything special about the old or new version of the
CNY17 - they all have the base connection brought out to pin 6. The 'G' suffix
means that pins 1-3 are separated from pins 4-6 by 10.16mm rather than the
normal 7.62mm. The '2' indicates the CTR which is 0.63 - 1.25 @ 10mA Ic.

There are other devices with the same pin spacing and isolation which would do
the job, ie. CNX82A

Note that the Isocom version of the CNX82A does not connect the base lead to pin
6.
