We nearly did.  I got the code, and ported it, which was not that difficult,
and got it running experimentally.  I didn't do robustness tests.

The port is not hard if you have a device driver manual for the SGI.  You need
some clues found in SGI's header files too.  I believe that SGI have SL/IP too,
so you may not need to port it yourself.
