<p>Hey David,</p>
<p>Thanks for the hint! <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://openwrt.org/">This</a> is what you're talking
about, right? Do those routers have enough beef to do anything in
addition to the routing though? My assumption was that they would
be fairly resource constrained (i.e., CPU's in the Mhz and RAM in
the MB); I wouldn't be surprised if SSH didn't work because of how
constrained they were. Glad to be proven wrong.<br>

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I have a router
that lets me run the open source dd-wrt firmware on it. (I use
the Netgear R7000P, but there's many others.) dd-wrt is Linux
based, and so probably provides most of the capabilities you
mentioned.

Over the shoulder supervision is more a need of the manager than the
programming task.
