Wow, I can't believe nobody answered your question till now. I was trying to determine the same thing because I want to set up rsync.
I just realized that dropbearmulti also contains an ssh client. Get it from
this thread about dropbear and x11vnc. Then you can run dbclient, or add another symlink for ssh->dropbearmulti.
Unfortunately the keyboard and screen refreshes may cause a problem. That and the slowness seem to make the iLiad no substitute for a desktop.
Good luck!
