do two things:
Instantly stop the motors on all axis
Issue an e-stop signal back to the software.

Many thanks for original point and everyone's contributions to

In light of them I have decided to strengthen the advice in the
Mach2Mill manual to use a totally hardware EStop, limits strategy.
Look out for this in the next release which documents the new F-key
screen switching and XML profiles.
John, If it would help I think I have an electronic copy of a
schematic for a strictly electromechanical (relays and switches) of
providing a failsafe limit. Let me know if you want it for inclusion.
