Brief overview:

I know you can't use the SSH server to do a direct connection to the N900 from a PC when the N900 is on GPRS. But, is there any workable solution? What I'd like is to be able to get to the terminal remotely on the N900 while it is on GPRS connection.

Perhaps there's a fairly easy way to do this?

Longer overview:

We currently use Blackberries within the office and have an application that our employees can't remove or shut down (ok, "can't" is a mighty strong word). It will allow us to track their GPS coordinates on command as well as do backups at predefined intervals. This is primarily used for delivery tracking (knowing when to have our warehouse people ready to unload a truck, knowing if a truck gets stuck at the border, etc.), and to be able to have all data backed up in case of phone loss or failure.

Due to other capabilities with the N900, we are looking at the feasability of switching. I have been using one phone to work with and try to get working. What I was hoping to do is either have a way to have a PC script log into the N900 at predefined intervals and pull GPS location from it (as well as have backups pulled), or to have something on the phone that isn't uninstallable or shutdown easily (and that starts at bootup) to send coordinates/backup information to our servers at predefined intervals.
