Michael; Ah - grbl-like input. Makes sense, and I can see how it would not work so well for LinuxCNC.
The question, then, is how come Mach3 can have USB cabling, but LinuxCNC can't? (see the KX* mills from Arc Eurotrade in the UK; now with USB input) Related: What commands are sent over the USB for these Mach3 boxes? Related,related: how can LinuxCNC get a larger slice of the 3D printer market, now that the "Printrboard" style of controls, and associated software is settling down for 3D'ers? John.
