tinkerdj keep me posted on how your comming along because I'd love to compar notes

h500 as far as controll, there are so many windows program which use the serial port for cnc controll its not even funny. KCAM uses it, I'd asume mach uses it but I dont know I've never used it. Downloading and dial up do not go hand in hand, especialy when your CRAP isp has a 4 hour time limet before they knock you off only to redial on again
