Is It Possible To Connect The EZ-B Directly To The PC Or Is Wi-Fi Required?

Is it possible to connect the EZ-B directly to the PC or is wi-fi required? Since laptops and single board computers have gotten both more powereful and cheaper, I want to use a separate Windows machine for each of my EZ-B robots. It would make my life so much easier if there existed a way to go from the laptop to the EZ-B, bypassing the wi-fi completely. Or would this be a feature request?

Thanks DJ. I just took a look at it. I'ts looks like it is a bit complicated to implement. I will try it next weekend.
