took lots of tinkering with ssh to get it to work but just got my reverse connection running! The Pi now boot, starts the FONA PPP connection, then does a reverse back to my local machine over the cell network. The command prompt is laggy as expected with the 2g data rate but its a worth while trade off. This Pi can now act as a pivot box or a remote recon box, next test will be to see the actual battery life with an active data connection, heres hoping the A+ pulls little enough that it lasts a good while!
