I connected my Axe-FX to my POD KB37 via midi. The POD connects to the computer via USB 2.0. It can read the signal fine (ie, you can record). USB is just far too slow to monitor live. So you have to play without hearing your guitar until after it's tracked (or you could use headphone or monitors direct out of the Axe using the second output channel).
It's certainly possible, but I'd rather just buy a quality interface than two sets of monitors (I hate trying to record with headphones on and the backing track coming out of the monitors).
I guess I should add that there's no way it's a computer issue. Mine's a hoss.

I've never used that particular interface, so I dunno quite how it works or it's limitations, but live monitoring/recording works fine POD X3/HD.
Running 100% dry it is by far the richest sound I have ever experienced. I realized that I didn't want to play a digital simulation of this no matter how good it is.
Sorry about the crappy iPhone pic quality:
