Ssh/telnet access over 3G?

Hi all,

Just got my new kindle 3 and installed jb/usbnet hack. ssh connection to kindle (root shell), ssh connection from kindle over wifi, and luigi's kiterm (http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/kindle/) work fine. The question is has anybody managed to use 3G for sshing to a remote host?

Background: One of the exciting features of the kindle in my view was that one could browse the internet over 3G almost anywhere. Well, in Germany, in turned out not to be the case - its only possible to access amazon + wikipedia.com from the browser (man, even in Poland you can use 3G!!!1). This information is not clearly stated on the website, m'okay? Isnt it that this limitation is implemented in the kindle settings (liek /opt/amazon/ebook/security/external.policy) and it would in principle be possible if not to use the browser but at least to send some few bytes of text over ssh?

Kthx
