What are some alternatives to Mach3 as far as control software goes?

For DOS, there is TurboCNC, CNC Pro, and CNC Zeus.

For Win98, there is KCAM.

For Linux, there's EMC2.

Then there are more expensive options.

WinCNC, Indexer LPT, Camsoft.

There is Quickstep3 with the Pulse Pacer. Looks interesting and it is
only $ 55.00. A 3 axis free controle software is available called
Master cnc.

How about ARTCAM, Type3 and Enroute can they communicate directly with MACH3 machines ? If can how to work with them, kindly suggest.

USBCNC looks quite interesting

Feedback, anyone? I need something reliable that will run with Windows XP

What's wrong with mach3? There are well over 10,000 Mach3 users.

There are two steps. 1-Design a job in Coreldraw or Enroute or TYPE3 or etc. 2- Import in Mach3 and run the job. Now we would like to run the job from the designed software which should be compatible to send a job directly to the MACH3 compatible machines.

DeskCNC is a 32 bit Windows application that includes powerful cam along with the controller software. runs on XP,Vista, etc, but does not require fast hardware. Serial port, but also works with a USB to serial adaptor.
