If you are at all computer savvy and don't mind learning a little Linux I
would suggest you take a look at EMC. Start with www.linuxcnc.org
It certainly qualifies from your price requirement (free) and supports
steppers or servos.

Subject: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Opinions: Cheap 3-axis Software
Any opinions on cheap (< $200?) Step/Direction CNC parallel port
software for a mini-mill? Some of the choices are:
MaxNC's Software ($125 std & $225 deluxe)
Supercam ($200 upgrade with a Micromill)
Yeager CNC Pro ($175 std or $125 "lite")
DeskNC ($60 from Camtronics)
DANCAM
Others?
