     It was demonstrated well before then, Arrigo Triulzi had
     demonstrated running
     an SSH server inside a NIC several years earlier.

     Back in the mid-80s I ran a secure computer center (with a huge VAX
     11/780 :-)
     and the Army/DoD/NIST rules for secure computers needed to know who
     wrote the
     channel programs that the computer was using.  Channels were a
     mainframe thing,
     which predated the VAX; the closest equivalent we had was a KMC11
     processor
     that sat in the Unibus and handled interrupts and cooked-mode input
     for the serial cards.
     So yes, proofs of concept have been around for a while :-)
