Mine is supposed to be shipping today.
I'm guessing exactly that - a network interface hopefully - maybe a web control interface even (that may be wishful thinking 'though )

LaserCAD seems to work fine - can't find any bugs during the hour I played with it. Of course, I can't connect to the board as I don't have one but it makes all the right noises in the dialogs. (BTW, what's the password - not ph123).
Out of interest, I couldn't find a way to offset the data by the beam radius (as you would with a mechanical tool radius) ??
One glaring omission was it's inability to import *.SVG files - I know I can run other apps to convert them, but that's not the point - just another unnecessary step in the process - there seems to be plenty of support for some other oddball file formats !
