Open a terminal on your Mac.
I am assuming OSx here -

The USBnetworking package provides an ssh server (Secure SHell).
The OpenSSH ssh client is part of your standard installation on a MAC.

man ssh
(The manual page for the client.)

Once both ends of the USB cable have been assigned an IP address - I.E: On both your Mac and the Kindle
Then the ssh client is what you will use to access your Kindle.
(of course, after starting the sshd service on the Kindle).

Search twobob's recent posts - he made one complete with pictures of how to setup the Mac end of the cable.
That one might even be in the index system now - it has had some recent updates.

How to setup the Kindle end (and how to start sshd a.k.a: Dropbear) is in the USBnetworking readme files.
