Why yes it will but I don't know why you would want to. You could simply
load the file to the linux computer and run it directly.

The EMC's MDI mode will accept commands a line at a time. In fact MDI will
accept and execute as many lines as you send it. If you want real drip
feeding, we would need to write a little script in tickle that reads the next
block from a serial port whenever the last block has been completed. With
the open source nature of the EMC code, we have easy access to all of the
commands needed to do this. We would need to know whatever dripfeed protocol
you have on the program computer.
