Hello,

I'm thinking in buying a PRS-T1 and have some questions concerning the USB and the Wifi connections of the device. I do not have Win or Mac computers at home, only FreeBSD (read it as Linux if you do not know FreeBSD).

When the device is connected via USB to a computer, does it behave like a USB memory stick or like a USB network device and I could SSH into the PRS-T1 like it would be any other network connected computer? Or is the connection hidden behind some propriaty piece of software only available for Windows or Mac?

Second question. The Wifi connection, can I connect through this into the PRS-T1 by SSH (like into any other Android/Linux), or is this only for outbound connections of the PRS-T1 to access the Internet?

Is the above somehow addressed by rooting the device?

Thanks

matthias
