I've just gotten a book ed. with v. 2.12 firmware and I want to install a SSH client, so I have to install shell access.

I got so far as to download the shell access file and it seemed to install and restarted my iLiad.

But what now? I need to access the SSH client. I'm on an iMac, but have Windows running on VMWare (and even an old laptop if all else fails). Can I access it via the terminal? (beware, I will need to know which commands to use - I'm not scared of the terminal, but most of my experience with command-line computer access hails back to DOS :P )
