It is meant to configured via http, just like the original WRT54GL
(you have to install it over http, for example, using the original
WRT54GL's firmware update page). However, through the web-based
interface you can activate an SSH (and/or telnet, if you're into that
sort of thing...) server.
I don't endorse DD-WRT over OpenWRT or Tomato. I've used them all, and
they all do what we need done. I've never needed anything from them
besides what's available from the basic web config menus.
If you have specific needs, though, one might be better than another.
For example, I think there's a DD-WRT build that acts as a VoIP
server.
Just some thoughts.
