I take it the free guiding software on your PC, sends signals (corrections), based on the image (designated guide star) from the webcam to the drive motors on the telescope to keep that star on designated pixels on the monitor screen?
Is that right?

Spot on Baz, but the corrections are sent from computer to the mount via a 'Guide Port interface' - commercial product sold by Shoestring astronomy...

Pick the one that suits you, USB or Parallel Port.
I have the USB version - worked straight away , no dramas!
