Here are what I did, hope it will help others like me who don't want a dedicated XP running just for MagicJack. I was using a dedicated XP box for MagicJack and I have a 24x7 server running ubuntu so I decided to give it a try and was able to move MagicJack to my Ubuntu box successfully. Successfully setup Ubuntu Linux + VMWare + XP + MagicJack It all worked, which sounds trivial, unless you've tried soft-phones or voip phones where DTMF doesn't work.

I have Skype out and have called business phone numbers that require entering combination's of numbers to reach your desired extension, leave voicemail, listen to your voice message and save/send. When I looked at the skype audio settings, skype automatically had picked the usb-Tiger input/output. With my little Asus eeepc 701 (black) and this old black GE phone and magicJack, I've got my whole office in a very small bag. Wow, it works great, clear, crisp sound, the touch-tone keys on the analog phone work.ġ) Keys on standard analog phone 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,*,#ġ) Lifting the receiver doesn't answer the phone, you must click the green phone icon in the pop up for an inbound skype or skype-in call.Ģ) Dialing out from the analog phone doesn't work, you must click on an existing contact or type in the number from the keyboard, but once connected to a land line, the touch-tone keys work with voicemail or other systems using touch-tones.ģ) The phone rings through the pc speakers, not the phone's bell. Just for fun I plugged it into my Asus eeePC 701, running standard Xandros linux and Skype. Quality was almost as good as my stand-alone voip phone "GrandStream GX2000". Worked in about a minute or two of plugging it into my iMac.
