Did I just waste $24?

Recently I purchased a 4 axis DMC1341 Galil card. I thought what a deal.
Now, from what I read in the forums, it can't be used as 4 axis cnc controller without a special front end.
This sucks. (development of such would take too long)
Those who have started the GUI's for such cards, have either quit or have dropped out of the zone.

So what is a good 4 or 5 axis Galil card that is relatively affordable and modern enough to be run on a PC.
