It matters if it's been painted or not. If painted it will be that much more difficult. Try a couple test patches to try to determine if you can get it moist. I ended up scraping both painted and unpainted.
I watched a few YouTube vids ("that kilted guy" has some good ones) before scraping my house. You will also want to be prepared to re-mud and fix damage to the Sheetrock as you'll inevitably do. If you expose sheetrock paper, use the pro-99 stuff before trying to mud or paint over it or you'll be chasing bubbles in your mud.
Another option is to rent one of those porter cable sanders that connects to a shop vac. It won't totally eliminate the texture, but it might knock it back enough that it's virtually unnoticeable. In any case protect yourself from breathing any of that crap.
