than sitting out in my freezing cold shop while tinkering with emc.
If you have X11 installed and running on your mac, you should be able to
execute something like the following command in a terminal window:
ssh -X mymill.local /usr/bin/emc
where mymill.local is the name of the ubuntu machine hosting EMC. You may have

The spindle on my 3 axis router run by the latest EMC 2.3.3 starts and
stops as expected from the Axis main screen
spindle button. M2 and M5 can stop the spindle, if started by the Axis
spindle on button. But none of the M codes will start the spindle in
MDI mode, or from G-code. Any words

Is it possible to configure AXIS so the jog step controls (in the step

No, nothing out of the ordinary, and with both upper and lower menus

It is possible my screen resolution is not what I think it is.
Obviously Axis knows the screen resolution, because the Axis window

Yesterday I was milling a rudder for a dory, using the jog controls of

precise Z steps, achieved by setting the Z jog control to some

On a machine that has rather different axes, with different maximum

this to determine the Jog Speed range for all 3
