thanks!

Well sort of; you will not get a command prompt and have to do it all from the text input box.
There is an ~exec command that you can use to launch scripts on the Kindle and you can use the "launchpad" script (see elsewhere in this forum on MR.com) to create shortcuts from the Kindle keyboard. So to use the Kindle as a client would require you to ~exec a script that lets you connect to all those servers and you can assign that to "shift x" on the HOME page.
