ESP8266 (WRL13287) and Arduino Mega 2560

I can not get the ESP8266 to connect with my Arduino AT Mega 2560. From what I can find on the internet, this shield should work with this Arduino. Is there a different library for the AT Mega 2560? Does this board actually work with AT Mega 2560? Any one have success? Sketches? Libraries?

The shield was designed for the Uno and puts it’s serial pins in places where software serial works for the Uno but won’t work on the Mega.

You’d need to modify the shield to move SW-TX to another pin on the Mega that can do software serial and then modify the libraries to look for that pin in the new location to make everything work.
