I have some folks from the 3D printer world asking me if LinuxCNC can
be used in a "gcode mode" similar to how the Arduino currently
operates these machines (a serial terminal that accepts gcode and
spits out the occasional status message).

I figure there might be something like this functionality buried in
the ancient history of LinuxCNC/EMC, but I have no idea where to go
excavating for such a "feature" or if it even exists.

So...is it remotely straight-forward or even possible to get a recent
LinuxCNC build into a mode where it listens on a serial port or
network socket for gcode commands, or is everyone expected to load
gcode from files these days?

Or am I making this way to hard and I should just run linuxcncrsh for
the interface and do something like "open /dev/ttyS0"?
