So, it *is* possible to use ssh to connect to a 2511, at least a 2511 with absolutely nothing else to do. Whether or not this will be useful will depend on how busy your router is.
as i said in my original post, i am using the 2511 as the terminal server for a bunch of out-of-band console ports. works great. a lot of folk have been doing the same for a long time. ssh to the 2511 and then async out to the broken devices. and you can put a modem on the con or aux for an other path way in. i was not recommending using it as a router. though this one is participating in my very local (one rack) ospf mesh. randy
