Umm, did you read the FAQ (linked at the top of the page)?

For the ability to get a shell (over serial), just install the developer edition of the player software. For web/ftp server (and a slew of other cool stuff) install Hijack
(also linked at the top of the page...)

Then you could install telnetd to be able to telnet to the empeg. Been done, search the board.

Edit: I see you say you read the FAQ. Give it another read, check out the Hijack link above and get the developer version of the software (also linked at the top)...
