1) Install and execute xterm

2) Gain root. For advise see ...

     https://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowDoiBecomeRoot or install

... or install  

     http://eko.one.pl/index.php?page=Nokia770_software#becomeroot

3) as root, type:

     /etc/init.d/dropbear start

from xterm, type:

     dbclient YOURUSER at MACHINETOSSH

I don't advise you to always start dropbear (too much risky). It's better to:

1) add the following lines to /etc/sudoers (be careful not to brick your 
device):

user ALL = NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/dropbear start
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/dropbear stop

2) Install "CPU/Mem/Screenshot applet with run command" from... 

http://gnuite.com:8080/nokia770/load-applet-run/load-applet-run_0.4.3-2_armel.deb

... and add shortcuts for "sudo /etc/init.d/dropbear start" 
and "sudo /etc/init.d/dropbear stop"
