Hi: Has anyone managed to get Linux to control a Denford router or know anything about this? Paul -- Sizofik a Ninila' Siyakhona?

From memory I think that they appear as special printers (at least they did when I last messed about with ours which was a while ago now)

Paul, For what it's worth.... We looked and Denford and Boxford - I asked both if they provide a Linux interface, neither did and little interest. We went with Boxford in the end as the Denford was (thinks of nice word) not very good spelt with a 'C' - and they were uninterested in getting better results. As said elsewhere - driving it should be simple assuming that you have the CNC codes. Be Very Very carefull, my experience of (early) CNC (milling machines) has been that if you are creating your own codes you can destroy a lot of machine in a very sort time! :-) For the record it wasn't me! I was brought in after :) Best of luck. Adrian
