Bill Sparks (js...@sg...) was able to get the SGI version of the 
EtherLite working reasonably well with the EMP. It was the latest 
hardware with the latest firmware, and probably some prevailing tailwind 
  involved, but it worked well. I don't know how it would fare under a 
load, but it successfully handled bringing an SGI 1200 up and down for 
many hours without a failure.
