Is there a development going on to offer Ethernet type of connection with Mach3, which would offer longer cables connecting the servo motors and faster connection for many axis, spindle motors,  including limit switches and and other sensors and outputs?

There are at least 3 motion devices listed on the Plugins Download page that use an ethernet connection with Mach3. But none of them are cheap. I believe they are all at least $700.

And then there's this device:

The Gecko G100 was networked. I love mine. They arnt made anymore, LOTS of people had problems with them but I stand by mine. I am thinking of the new Smooth Stepper when it comes out.
