That's actually what I intended to suggest, or rather, ask if there's interest 
in online access to a Phoenux. I feel a little bad now for having a early 
adopter board, while being unable to do kernel development. 

But I remember that before I got the board, I'd have liked to have online 
access to one, just to see what and where I could put my nose in. 

So if people are indeed interested in SSH access to a GTA04A3-EA, give some 
noise on the list with suggestions how it's most comfortable and usefully 
done. Afterward you can send me promises off-list, such as, but not limited to 
not being spam-king, not hostile towards fragile hardware or otherwise 
unsuitable for having a test account ;-)
Please also give suggestions about disabling access to the rest of my home 
network.
