newbie needs general info!


Hi all,
I'm currently building a small 5-axis mill. I would like to control it with iso G-code (generated by Surfcam).
It has servo's on all axes, which all accept step/direction pulses.
These are my questions:
 
1)Can I use EMC for this purpose?
2)Do I need to do a lot of tweaking with the software myself? I know some C++, but I'm not an expert at it...
3)Does it only run on Unix and NT?
4) How does EMC compare to commercial controllers?
 
Any help would be very welcome!
 
Thanks,
Peter L.
