Ok everyone. Now that the hype has started, partially due to
infomercials, let me tell you the horror of MagicJack. I just
installed mine on a Gateway with Windows XP and because I had
musicmatch it would not load. After 3 yes 3 hours typing with a tech
rep in their chat room we finally got that issue resolved, now my
speakers don't work. I have been chatting with 4 different tech reps
at various times trying to get this issue resolved. They have no
phone support so you have to text everything. Obviously they are
taking care of other people with problems at the same time they are
helping you so it takes forever. In addition they are grasping as
straws for fixes so you never know what damage is being done as you
go. My main comment is if you want one be very very careful after
another 6 hours total with them my speakers still don't work.

That generally happens with toy stuff like magicjack. We have VoIP and
have a tiny standalone ATA in the basement. Nothing to conflict with and
no need to run a computer 24x7 that uses 200 times as much electricity.
