Wow.  John, your experience is extremely atypical.  I have hacked (and failed to hack) many, many linux based commodity devices.  Believe me, in most devices there is no ssh daemon.  In many devices, even when you manage to hack an ssh daemon or something into the device, there aren't even any shell commands available, such as ls and cat and stuff.
