connection from a VERY remote location. Is it possible to do it via
shortwave radio?

It is possible. Long ago LX0HST in Luxembourg used to allow shell
access. The system was running Linux. I am in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
LX0HST wasn't on HF, but could be accessed from other stations. I used
to access LX0HST by connecting to DJ0OW on 20 meters, then telling DJ0OW
to connect to LX0HST. There were other paths besides DJ0OW too, I seem
to remember doing it via ON0BEL (?) many times. There were other
gateways in Germany as well. This was all done with PACTOR-II.

I am not sure if LX0HST was connected to the internet, but if it was, I
could have easily accessed anything from the shell.
