It may be incorrect terminology, but it is actually ssh on the box.

See above.

My experience is limited with just keeping it running and configuring 
what I must. I have 0 documentation and it requires a lot of "?" for me 
to find the appropriately named commands for what I want to do still. I 
haven't seen the physical box. I've heard them call it an X3 and an 
NE40E. A little googling, and I'm not sure if this router is even a 
homebrew for them.

I suspect others have a lot more experience with their various platforms.
